Source: USC and UCLA are planning to leave for the Big Ten as early as 2024. Move *has not been finalized* at the highest levels of power.

Perhaps a little too abstract of a thought, but think about Knute Rockne and ND travelling by train to play USC in LA and vice versa. That is now approaching 100 years ago. Think about the exposure for both schools back then. Move the "tape" forward to today and you have this announcement.
This is massive for all parties, but I have to believe that the B1G snagging Los Angeles as a viewing market, playing more games in the Rose Bowl, the new stadiums that are out there now - all of it will be accretive to that conference.
It is a rather extraordinary response to the SEC's Texas and OU acquisition, especially considering when you compare Norman, OK to Los Angeles, CA. Granted, the SEC also picks up Austin, TX and the massive following of the Longhorns, while the B1G literally locks into only one market with the two schools announced, but the population of greater LA is 12.5 million versus Austin, TX at 2.3 million and Norman, OK at 1.4 million.
You can argue different levels of passion, etc., but the POTENTIAL of this move is staggering.
