Lincoln Riley issues statement on USC's move to the Big Ten
Lincoln Riley took over as the head coach of USC this offseason. Now, it appears he might only coach 2 years in the Pac-12 before the Trojans make a move.
The big news of the week is that USC and UCLA are moving to the Big Ten in 2024, which will mark another era of conference realignment.
On Sunday, he issued a statement about the move, saying it’s a great decision for the future of USC athletics. He added that USC is excited to compete in the Big Ten:
