The Big Ten added USC and UCLA earlier this summer, and now California Governor Gavin Newsom says he'll need the public school among the two (UCLA) to provide an explanation for the move. He does not have the power to force UCLA to stay in the Pac-12, but he can make things inconvenient for the Bruins if the UCLA Board isn't satisfied with the school's reasoning. Will there actually be any consequence from this, or is the incoming Big Ten money still big enough to solve all problems?
Nate Dickinson and Matt Sheehan go over the biggest news from the Big Ten, including the possibility of UCLA losing out on some money as a result of Newsom's statements and Notre Dame's rumored new deal with NBC. The Irish are reportedly in the market for a huge payday from the network, and it could close the door on any possibility of joining the Big Ten soon. Part of the Locked On Podcast Network.
