"In non-revenue sports, the Big Ten’s UCLA-USC fit is deeply strange for many reasons: Both schools play sports that the conference doesn’t offer and don’t play sports the Big Ten does compete in."


So, are USC and UCLA going to put some of their non-revenue sports in the Big West or something?

Both USC and UCLA men's volleyball and water polo already play in the MPSF. They could put more Olympic sports in the MPSF, if so desired, and plenty of California and other western schools would follow to make it workable.
