#2. What were the reactions with the addition of UCLA and USC to the Big Ten in 2024 and how that impacts Indiana’s football program?

As most college sports fans across the nation have seen, UCLA and USC, who have been the prominent members of the Pac-12 conference since the 1920’s, are joining the Big Ten in 2024. While many fans of the Big Ten have different opinions on the realignment, the most important opinions and thoughts are going to be coming from the leaders of the sports programs themselves.

Tom Allen has gone on record saying that he is in favor of the realignment when discussing dropping the east and west divisions for Big Ten football, especially because the winners of the Big Ten Championship having come from the Big Ten East for nine straight seasons.
