Cover 3 College Football Creating the Big Ten schedule rotation when USC and UCLA join the conference (02/22)
The Cover 3 crew selects annual rivalries for the new Big Ten when it expands in 2024. First, in the wake of the USFL college draft this week, a look at some of the players who could be on the field for the league this spring as well as how it impacts their NFL Draft status and NFL future (1:00). Then it's on to the extremely difficult process of slotting three permanent rivals for all 16 Big Ten teams when USC and UCLA join the conference (14:00). Debates include what existing rivalries have to get cut, how TV ratings should factor in the mix against competitive balance and whether the new West Coast members are going to get any travel considerations for their permanent rivalries. Plus, winners and losers from the expansion process and more!
