A week after the biggest move in college sports in recent years, Locked On Big 10 and Locked On Pac-12 come together for a conversation on what has happened and what is coming next.

USC and UCLA are in the Big Ten, so the Pac-12 has decisions to make to try and salvage what is left of the conference.

Will the Pac-12 merge with another conference, and how would that look in a college sports scene alongside the new Big Ten and SEC?

Also, who are the best candidates from the Pac-12 to make the move if the Big Ten decides it wants to expand further?

Here’s an excerpt of my conversation with Nate Dickinson on the latest speculation about the future after a crazy week on Locked On Big 10.
