McLaughlin. Big Ten Chaos is not affecting the Pac-12 right now

T:The Big Ten recently threw its hat back into the media rights and realignment news network.

The news wasn’t all positive, however, as new commissioner Tony Petti has some key details to sort out in the Conference’s new, historic media deal.

Now, Pettitte is in some ways in a similar position to Pac-12 commissioner George Klyavkov, cleaning up the mess of his predecessor.

On today’s episode of Locked On Pac-12, I’m joined by Nate Dickinson of Locked On Big Ten.

We take a look at how, if at all, these disruptive reports might change the way the Big Ten thinks about pursuing westward expansion.

Northwestern president Michael Shiel (formerly of Oregon) made comments about the Big Ten expanding west to ease the travel burden for USC and UCLA student-athletes.

A move still seems inevitable, but the Big Ten seems to be constantly preparing in case the landscape changes.
