SoCal Media: "With USC and UCLA leaving the conference, how will the Pac-12 keep its Southern California ties?
P12 Commissioner: “We may end up playing a lot of football games in L.A.”
Comment: Given the television money and recruiting advantages of playing games in the SoCal area, does the Commissioner's comment imply Pac-12 teams will aggressively schedule . . .
(1) Road games to (non-members) USC and UCLA as part of their OOC games, or
(2) Teams (other than USC and/or UCLA) for games at stadiums within the Los Angeles area (SoFi Stadium, Rose Bowl, Coliseum, Soccer venues, etc.)?
Addendum: I suspect, going forward, USC & UCLA will continue to play Stanford and Cal as often as possible along with a mix of other Pac-10 members on a rotational basis. We'll see.
