In this emergency edition of the Peristyle Podcast host Ryan Abraham goes solo on the eve of Pac-12 Media Day to talk about the news that shook the entire college football landscape, Texas and Oklahoma leaving the Big 12 and potentially joining forces with the SEC. Whatever happens with the Longhorns and the Sooners, college football will never be the same, with big brands utilizing their power to make deals that would help their programs as opposed to helping their conference.
So what does that mean for USC? We will likely find out some of new Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff's plan on Tuesday, but USC athletic director Mike Bohn has to be happy knowing that the Trojan brand is powerful enough to make strong move similar to Texas and Oklahoma if the Pac-12 doesn't appear to be able to right the ship. For Bohn, every option should be on the table from going independent to joining another conference. And if USC does stay in the Pac-12 he can fight for a bigger piece of the revenue pie, helping his athletic department in the process.
For now USC fans just need to hang on and enjoy the ride, because change is coming and the Trojans are in good position to improve their stock in this approaching new era of college football.
