1,500th Episode Special - Colin Cowherd on the aftermath of USC and UCLA bolting for the Big Ten Jul 05, 2022

Show notes

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio to talk more about the huge news that both USC and UCLA will be leaving the Pac-12 conference and joining the Big Ten conference starting in 2024. This week they are joined by Fox Sports media personality and USC superfan Colin Cowherd to talk about this huge move and what it means for the Trojans going forward.

It's been five days since the news broke and the entire college football world is still in shock, trying to make sense of this huge power shift and trying to figure out what will be the next domino to fall.

Notre Dame appears to be the next Big Ten target and until the Irish make a move it is unlikely that the SEC of B1G will do any more raiding. But that won't stop the Pac-12, Big 12 and ACC from potentially making some moves, anything from raiding each other to merging together to forming a more formal (and written) alliance. There are already reports that Oregon and Washington want to join USC and UCLA in the Big Ten, but do the LA schools want that? The Big 12 is also reportedly having meetings with the Arizona and Mountain schools from the Pac-12 which would essentially be a death blow to the Conference of Champions.

New Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff isn't going to sit idly by, but will there be any conference left for him to save? We shall see.

USC director of football sports performance Bennie Wylie plus Trojans hire Dave Emerick from Mississippi State Jun 29, 2022

Show notes

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham is joined by a very special guest, USC's director of football sports performance Bennie Wylie talking about his role as the team's strength and conditioning coach and how the players have been performing this summer.

Wylie comes to USC after spending four years with Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma, but he and Riley have a much longer history than that. Back in 2002 when Wylie was Texas Tech's head strength and conditioning coach, Riley was walk-on quarterback on the team (and former USC offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was the starting QB). Wylie talked about following Riley from Norman to Los Angeles and how that transition has been for him.

Ryan also gets into a big hire for the Trojans, Mississippi State senior associate athletic director for football Dave Emerick who will now be USC's general manager/senior associate athletic director for football. Emerick has been head coach Mike Leach's right hand man for 18 years and according to Bruce Feldman, this is a huge hire for the Trojans.

The guys start off talking about the Salute to Troy event held on campus over the weekend, where head coach Lincoln Riley, all of his staff and players plus former Trojan greats entertained USC football fans talking about the bright future of this program.

They also discuss the news that dropped over the weekend that Pittsburgh transfer wide receiver Jordan Addison will be wearing No. 3, the returned number of Heisman Trophy winning quarterback Carson Palmer.

Another big event was happening on campus this weekend, one of the biggest recruiting weekends in the history of USC football.
