The headline says “the craziest day in Pac-12 history,” but let’s call this what it really is — the beginning of the end for the conference as a whole.
On Thursday morning, it was reported that the USC Trojans and UCLA Bruins were planning to leave the Pac-12 conference and join the Big Ten conference, starting in 2024. What followed, of course, was a slew of questions.
Why would the Trojans and Bruins do this? Where does that leave teams like the Oregon Ducks or Washington Huskies? What about the middling teams in the Pac-12 like Oregon State and Colorado? Ultimately, will the Pac-12 even survive?
We don’t have a lot of those answers, but it’s been an information overload on Twitter throughout the day. We’ve done our best to gather the pertinent information you need, as well as some of the best and funniest reactions as well. Here’s what you need to know:
