On the Pac 12 with Troy Ewers:

#1 The break up of the Pac 12 continues after Oregon Ducks trustees voted on Friday to accept the move to the Big Ten. The Washington Huskies also will be leaving the Pac 12 to join the Big Ten.

#2 The Big Ten presidents voted happily to vote in Oregon and Washington for the 2024 season and they see a great benefit for their TV coverage having the Ducks and Huskies in the confrence.

#3 Last year the Big Ten got UCLA and USC in the fold and that was the beginning of the crumbling of the Pac 12.

#4 With the Colorado Buffaloes, USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington leaving the Pac 12 the conference. At this rate the Pac 12 could be down to just four schools, Cal, Stanford, Oregon State, and Washington State which pretty much would have to move them into other conferences.

#5 It was Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren who strongly urged Oregon and Washington to join the Big Ten. With UCLA and USC it gives the Big Ten a strong position for their TV contracts and recruiting for the schools.
