Those two SoCal teams did the PAC 12 dirty. They were not helping to strengthen the conference, nor were they headed in that direction. So bailout in the dark of the night to another big boy league where they can reap the rewards of others hard work and generosity. They were being out recruited in their backyard by the likes of OBD and Utah. Maybe the B1G will help them recruit, probably not if they can’t put a winning product on the field.

This is the exact same thing that happened to the BIG 12.  I’ve seen report after report that the BIG 12 didn’t make the necessary changes to keep Texas and ou but what everyone leaves out is that both those schools (especially Texas) fought expanding beyond 10 every step of the way.  Both fought a Big 10 style Network when the conference was at its strongest in the late 90’s early 2000’s…only to have the offer taken to the BIG.  Both fought equal distributions until Nebraska left because of it.   Every “issue” the schools cited were issues they created themselves and forced the others to live with Until they bolted.
