USC and UCLA are about to play their final football season in the Pac-12 Conference.
LOS ANGELES -- George Kliavkoff was one day short of his one-year anniversary as the Pac-12 Conference commissioner, finally on the second day of his first vacation when he got the shocking news that USC and UCLA were leaving for the Big Ten.
Through it all, Kliavkoff maintained a sunny outlook at Friday's conference football media day. He said a media-right's package will be announced"in the near future" and that he was confident the 10 remaining schools plus any potential expansion teams will still be together in five years. USC was picked by the media to win the league and dethrone back-to-back champion Utah. The Trojans enter the season among the top contenders to make the College Football Playoff, which could create an unusual — and perhaps awkward — situation if it plays out that way.
"I'll reminisce on that after because we're not leaving right now," Kelly said."So our sole focus and attention is on this season. I think the league is as strong as it's ever been. But I am very sentimental when it comes to this conference." "I think that's going to continue to evolve even more and more as we go on," Riley said."I think our kids are excited about playing on the monster stage week in and week out, some of our matchups it's going to create."
