Greed, for one.[/URL] As with all the conference-jumping that has taken place in this century, this is about one thing: [I]money[/I]. This is no different from the golfers who have jumped to [URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/07/01/liv-golf-portland-pumpkin-ridge/?itid=lk_inline_manual_12']the Saudi-financed LIV Golf[/URL] circuit [URL='https://www.washingtonpost.com/sports/2022/06/14/liv-golf-pga-tour-greed/?itid=lk_inline_manual_12']claiming their goal is to grow the game[/URL]. Just as the golfers are actually trying to grow their bank accounts, the college administrators are motivated by the welfare of their bottom lines. As ridiculous as the notion of UCLA and USC joining the Big Ten is, it would be much more palatable if the leadership at the two schools just said: “This is about TV money. The Big Ten has lots more of it than the Pac-12.” [/QUOTE]
