Coach Harvey Hyde gives his take on USC moving to the Big Ten and conference realignment Jul 11, 2022

Show notes

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the groundbreaking news that USC and UCLA will be moving to the Big Ten in 2024. The Trojans will move on from the Pac-12 after 100 years of membership, starting with the Pacific Coast Conference way back in 1922 all the way through the Pac-8, the Pac-10 and now the Pac-12. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on losing all of those traditions like playing Cal and Stanford every year, road trips to the Pacific Northwest and of course playing in the Rose Bowl against a rival from the Big Ten. He also talks about the upside for the Trojans in making this move and if he feels there could have been anything done to prevent USC from leaving, on the conference side and within the Trojans athletic department.

The Rose Bowl is near and dear to the heart of Coach Harvey Hyde and he is on several committees for the Tournament of Roses including the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame committee. While he knows that college football is changing rapidly and the Rose Bowl will never be the same as we have grown to know it, he feels that a lot of the traditions can stay the same as the bowl moves from a Big Ten/Pac-12 matchup to one of the games of the College Football Playoff. Even last year the Rose Bowl still had the highest television rating of any bowl game, even higher than the two CFP semifinal games. Coach feels it can still be a very prestigious post season game, with different participants than what we have usually seen in the "Granddaddy of them all."

As far as the travel goes for the USC football team and Olympic sports, Hyde thinks that it would challenging but nothing that couldn't be overcome. He thinks the Big Ten will expand further and could give USC more local teams in its division that could limit some of the travel to the Midwest. The Olympic sports could also structure things for road trips that last longer with accommodations for school being made while being on the trip. In his words, the money was too much to pass up and sometimes you have to give a little bit to get a lot back.

Coach Hyde also thinks Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff has been doing a lot to try and keep things together, but it was simply too deep of a hole dug by his predecessor Larry Scott. He talks about some of the possibilities for expansion including adding some familiar Mountain West programs.
