Morning Buzz: USC-Oregon Might Actually Start Playing Each Other

USC’s 6 a.m. practices the next two days have been moved to the afternoon.

The good part: Players get to sleep. The bad part: It will be a lot hotter.

  • As the Pac-12 implodes, here is another thing to second guess: Since 2013, USC and Oregon have played each other just four times. The two best-known programs. The marquee teams. The showcase game of all games for the conference.

Four games in 10 years. And one of those games was the Pac-12 title game in 2020.

They will probably play more often in the Big Ten.

  • It’s too bad Coach Bohn is in a witness protection program. We would like to hear what he thinks about his original vision on the verge of blowing up, where USC leaves Oregon behind for Big Ten riches.

USC (and UCLA) can still vote against adding Oregon and Washington, but if the Big Ten is seriously studying it, it’s probably already been decided to add those two teams.

  1. Let me have this straight now– the ‘Big-10’ is really the Big-14
    soon to be the Big-16 and possibly one day the Big-18 or Big-20

  2. I would miss playing Oregon and Washington.
    Cal and Stanford not so much
    But if they all are allowed into the Big-10 it would cut down on travel

    1. Sir John
      Let me let you in on a little secret. Cal and Stanford are a lock because of the many BILLIONS $$ of federal research money. It’s not talked about openly but the BIG covets sharing those. The FOX TV money is chump change in comparison.. Tip money.
      PAC 6 western division plays 5 games. Then 3 pre season games. Then 4 games left. 2 away, 2 home with the original BTEN teams.

      1. Very valid point. UW computer science has also zoomed into the class of Cal/Stanford/USC/UCLA/UWM/Illinois so I could see them being pursued. Oregon doesn’t even have an Engineering school so I see them being left out in the cold – they just don’t fit the acacdemic profile.

      3. How does that even make sense? Leagues have nothing to do anything other than playing sports and promoting their member schools. They don’t share grant money – that’d be insane.

  3. So you guys are scared of Oregon? You don’t want to be in the same league with them anymore? Because they kick your Hollywood asses on the field and the recruiting trail? 😂

    1. Well, yes, Mr. Fuke, as a matter of fact SC is a little scared of Oregon as they have pretty much had their way with the Trojans of late,
      and in Autzen Stadium, home turf of the Ducks, the fans are literally screaming the entire game whenever SC has the ball
      trying to jam signals, which is effective.– Hard to win there

  4. I hate Oregon and would love to see them in the Mt. West. If they make it to the B1G they will become an even bigger pain in the ass. Unless USC starts to pay high school recruits when recruiting they will not keep up with Oregon who pays everyone a bag of cash just to commit. The alternative is if paying before playing is outlawed. But then that has always been the case so what the heck.

    2. Congress/NCAA needs to come up with some policies to regulate the NIL money grab. First and foremost, it must have a capped dollar amount. Similar to salary caps in professional sports. Right now, this NIL fiasco looks like legalized corruption.

        Gabby:

        You have offended my wife, my mother and my father. All sexual inferences. I let the first two go because they are both deceased but not my wife. You are the one who offended my family, not visa versa. I have never brought your wife or parents into anything. It is therefore my call – boxing gym in Pasadena CA, Mr. tough guy. Give me a date and I will make the arrangements. Stop being a chickensh*t.

        And nobody believes you are friends with Dana White. If you ever read the news, he is a staunch conservative who left the country during Covid so that the Dems. couldn’t shut down UFC. He wouldn’t allow a pussy leftist like yourself anywhere near his octagon. Rummaging the dumpster outside of the premises for plastic bottles redeemable for 20 cents doesn’t mean you know Dana White you leftist, racist, pussy.

  8. Why the heck would USC or UCLA vote against more weat coast schools being added to the big 10? That’s what we need – reduce the travel, keep some regional rivalries, especially if the Bay Area schools come. Plus make it a bit more difficult for current Big 10 teams to fly west more often and not just get an LA vacation.

  9. The Big-10 tv deal has been done so I don’t know if it would be amended or a new deal struck with the admission of more teams
    i.e. 18 or 20 teams divvying up the same amount of tv money as 16

    And what is with this ‘$100-million for each Big-10 school, I keep seeing $60 million as the true figure. If true, then it makes it even more suspect why SC did not fight for a larger share of
    Pac-12 tv-money and to maintain the Pac-12 conference.
