UCLA wants to leave its traditional sports home in the Pac-12 and join the Big 10 conference. California Gov. Gavin Newsom is saying, “Not so fast.”Reports that UCLA may join the Big 10 as soon as 2024 are being fought by Newsom and other state bodies.
Newsom told Fox News that an investigation is already underway to see what can potentially be done to stop the flight of UCLA.The Pac-12’s future has been thrown in disarray by the planned departures of UCLA and rival USC to the BIg 10, which is largely midwestern based, with outposts on the east coast with Rutgers and Maryland.
That leaves the University of California in Berkeley out in the cold, as well as major sports powers Oregon and Washington.On the plus side, UCLA would gain even greater national exposue and revenue from the move.
