Thursday hit with a bang as Jon Wilner made a big report about the Pac-12’s future.

Wilner announced on social media USC and UCLA are planning to leave the Pac-12 conference as early as 2024.

This move has not been finalized or formally announced at this point by the Pac-12 conference, Big Ten or the two schools involved.

This would obviously be a massive blow to the conference. Not only would it impact football, it would impact basketball, track, softball, etc.

This move should not be all that surprising however. With the SEC adding Texas and Oklahoma, there has been a lot of talk about super-conferences. Those departures have left many questioning the future of the Big-12 and its sustainability.

The Pac-12, self-branded as the conference of champions, would have some tough decisions to make with this move. USC and UCLA represent the biggest media market out West in Los Angeles.

The biggest question for Oregon fans is this, what does the University of Oregon do if this move is made?
