Bill Walton is firmly against UCLA moving to the Big Ten in a statement he wrote to John Canzano.
Some highlights:
- “This proposed move to the Big 10, is all about football, and money”
- “I have spoken to no one, other than the highest-level directors of athletics at UCLA, who think that this proposed move to the Big 10 is a good idea”
- “Every argument made by these senior AD’s and why they like it, is about money”
- “These same proponents of moving to the Big 10, are the first people I have ever encountered in my life, who have claimed economic hardship and limitations in Los Angeles, and that the solution lies in the Midwest”
REACTION: I don’t really disagree with Walton’s points. Would a high-profile former USC athlete come out against the Trojans’ move to the Big Ten? Doubtful. That’s because USC (and its fans) care about football. And want to do whatever it takes to win.
But you know who would be against the Big Ten move if they were able to admit it? Lincoln Riley and Andy Enfield. Riley’s already had his hands full with Oregon State and Arizona. The Big Ten is not enticing. Enfield is going to have plenty of long nights in the Big Ten . . . plus long flights.
PHOOEY.

It took Folt a couple of years of constantly getting blasted on Twitter to fire Clay Helton in order for her to get how important USC’s football tradition really is.
No matter what Folt tweeted, 90% of the responses to her were about firing Clay Helton. Then the tweets started calling for her to resign. LOL!

Bill Walton…..you mean the guy who has always applauded the Conference of Champions even when the only championships they were winning was the NCAA Bingo championship. He says “Every argument made by these senior AD’s and why they like it, is about money”. Of course it’s all about money. But money doesn’t mean a thing to socialists like Walton. That’s why we are going bankrupt with this current bunch of socialists who are running this country.

Do you really believe that the Big Ten is a stronger Football Conference TOP TO BOTTOM, than the Pac 12? Big Ten is top-heavy, but the middle and bottom is pathetic. Nebraska loses to Clay Helton. Northwestern loses to FCS Southern Illinois, after they beat Nebraska. Iowa beats FCS South Dakota State 7-3 with no touchdowns. Illinois is in first place in the Big 10 West, beating Iowa 9-6. Washington hammered Michigan State. Washington State won at Wisconsin. Stop drinking the Koolaid. It’s Ohio State & Michigan and Nothing else.

Here’s the deal. I don’t care if the schools move or not. I don’t even care about the money. But what Bill doesn’t consider (because he is a pac 12 honk) is that this is by far and away the worst run conference in all of Div 1. Now I am a die in the wool pac 12 guy. I grew up in the pac 12, competed in the pac 12, coached in the pac 12 (actually grew up and competed in the pac 10 but…) Since the regents and presidents fell asleep the wheel and were sold a used car as a new car by Larry and since then Georgie, this conference is crap. Blame it on the regents/presidents. I was shocked but thrilled to hear the news of the move. And I was perhaps the most connected to the conference as anyone I know. The ship is sinking and leadership is trying to figure out what outfit its going to wear for a stroll on the deck. And by the way, if leadership did its job, finances wouldn’t be an issue. Each member school would be making somewhere near what big 10 and sec members make. And no need to move off the non sinking ship.

Actually, USC has the skill players part figured out. They just need to get the “big uglies” part correct. Easier said than done, but still doable. If I were UCLA I’d be worried about Chip Kelly’s lack of excitement for recruiting. Especially if Deion Sanders gets a D1 job at Arizona State and well, that’s going to affect UCLA more than it would USC.

Bill Walton I remember him back in the 1970s but a half-century later I only know that many think of him as a “bore” on t.v. with his excessive irrelevant talk about everything.
Perhaps the genesis of this ‘Walton-Disease’ is he unfortunately started out his life with a severe stuttering speech problem throughout college that had to have frustrated and hurt him so much that when he overcame it he wanted to lash out at everybody who didn’t have patience listening to him.
