Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren mentioned today the conference will regularly be able to play in a late-night time slot thanks to USC and UCLA.
Hold up a second!
One reason USC and UCLA fans like the Big Ten is the idea of earlier games. Not late-night games at the Coliseum or Rose Bowl.
Do you want half of USC’s home games at 7 p.m.? You want to watch USC playing in the daylight.
We’ll see how this plays out. I know one thing. Jim Harbaugh and Co. will not want to fly back to Michigan at 1 a.m. PT and get back Sunday morning, which hurts their team.
Remember a few years ago, Michigan said no thanks to playing weeknight games.
- Warren also said USC and UCLA will receive full shares immediately. Nebraska, Rutgers and Maryland had to wait six years to become vested members.
“They bring a lot of panache,” Warren said.
This is not exactly breaking news. I know USC wasn’t goine to move without gaining a full share immediately. That wouldn’t have flown with the USC administration.

Not sure if the Big 10 commissioner knows what “panache” (feathers on a helmet or a hat) means. But that would be a good look for the gutties. Or maybe the commish was thinking of Chip and confused panache with pancakes.

That is kind of the historical meaning of the word, ’67, and you are right, feathers on sucla’s helmets would add a dash of panache, although somewhat tasteless.
SC however fits the modern usage of panache as in flair, swagger and charisma. Carroll’s teams had panache, and hopefully so will Wiley’s

LJ, exactly, it has evolved over time into meaning confidence. Riley’s team will indeed have it.

trojan1967,
how about if the ruins just wear women’s pink underwear on their helmets instead. They do play like pu##ies.

Upon listening to this again, it sounded like he said “They bring a lot of paunch”, thus I believe ’67 was correct that he was thinking about Chip.

Start the west coast games at 5:00 and it’s prime time back east. Why would any B1G fans want to watch a game that could end early Sunday?

If you marry for money, you’re going to earn every penny. Remember that a few years down the line. You’ll see. BIG has no allegiance to SC after they join. SC calls no shots in the BIG. It’ll be like a HSer becoming a college frosh. Don’t kid yourself. Warren alledgely had a truce with the ACC & PAC-12. See how fast that got wadded up and thrown into the trash.
Warren will take care of tOSU, PennSt, Mich FIRST.

Well, AOC said in 2019 that the world is going to end by 2031 anyway. Al Gore & John Kerry are right there with her.
So we won’t have to be concerned with night games for very much longer.
