Members of the athletic department at UCLA, which joins the conference Aug. 2, 2024, have been meeting with Big Ten officials about the process since last year
The UCLA athletic department is officially one year away from joining the Big Ten Conference, but there are still logistics to solve as their respective fall sports programs prepare for their final season in the Pac-12 Conference.
“I had the pleasure of spending time in Los Angeles in mid-June with leadership from USC and UCLA,” Big Ten commissioner Tony Petitti said at the conference’s media day. “Student-athlete welfare, scheduling and marketing were the primary focus for both institutions at our meetings.” How the teams will travel across the country to compete in conference play remains a work in progress as the administration considers a feasible solution.
“This move was made to benefit all of our 750 student-athletes,” Jarmond said. “This is going to put them in a better position when it comes to resources, brand exposure and being competitive across the board. It wasn’t done for this sport or that sport, it was done for our entire athletic program and where we want to go.”
USC and UCLA are considered one of those important rivalries and will continue to build the series’ history that dates to 1929. Petitti tabbed Diana Sabau and Becky Penny to work on men’s and women’s basketball and postseason formats for each of the conference’s Olympic sports.
