In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Coach Harvey Hyde are back together talking about the groundbreaking news that USC and UCLA will be moving to the Big Ten in 2024. The Trojans will move on from the Pac-12 after 100 years of membership, starting with the Pacific Coast Conference way back in 1922 all the way through the Pac-8, the Pac-10 and now the Pac-12. Coach Hyde gives his thoughts on losing all of those traditions like playing Cal and Stanford every year, road trips to the Pacific Northwest and of course playing in the Rose Bowl against a rival from the Big Ten. He also talks about the upside for the Trojans in making this move and if he feels there could have been anything done to prevent USC from leaving, on the conference side and within the Trojans athletic department. The Rose Bowl is near and dear to the heart of Coach Harvey Hyde and he is on several committees for the Tournament of Roses including the Rose Bowl Hall of Fame committee. While he knows that college football is changing rapidly and the Rose Bowl will never be the same as we have grown to know it, he feels that a lot of the traditions can stay the same as the bowl moves from a Big Ten/Pac-12 matchup to one of the games of the College Football Playoff. Even last year the Rose Bowl still had the highest television rating of any bowl game, even higher than the two CFP semifinal games. Coach feels it can still be a very prestigious post season game, with different participants than what we have usually seen in the "Granddaddy of them all." As far as the travel goes for the USC football team and Olympic sports, Hyde thinks that it would challenging but nothing that couldn't be overcome. He thinks the Big Ten will expand further and could give USC more local teams in its division that could limit some of the travel to the Midwest. The Olympic sports could also structure things for road trips that last longer with accommodations for school being made while being on the trip. In his words, the money was too much to pass up and sometimes you have to give a little bit to get a lot back. Coach Hyde also thinks Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff has been doing a lot to try and keep things together, but it was simply too deep of a hole dug by his predecessor Larry Scott. He talks about some of the possibilities for expansion including adding some familiar Mountain West programs. Please review, rate and subscribe to the Peristyle Podcast on Apple Podcasts!

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham and Chris Trevino are back in studio to talk more about the huge news that both USC and UCLA will be leaving the Pac-12 conference and joining the Big Ten conference starting in 2024. This week they are joined by Fox Sports media personality and USC superfan Colin Cowherd to talk about this huge move and what it means for the Trojans going forward. It's been five days since the news broke and the entire college football world is still in shock, trying to make sense of this huge power shift and trying to figure out what will be the next domino to fall. Notre Dame appears to be the next Big Ten target and until the Irish make a move it is unlikely that the SEC of B1G will do any more raiding. But that won't stop the Pac-12, Big 12 and ACC from potentially making some moves, anything from raiding each other to merging together to forming a more formal (and written) alliance. There are already reports that Oregon and Washington want to join USC and UCLA in the Big Ten, but do the LA schools want that? The Big 12 is also reportedly having meetings with the Arizona and Mountain schools from the Pac-12 which would essentially be a death blow to the Conference of Champions. New Pac-12 commissioner George Kliavkoff isn't going to sit idly by, but will there be any conference left for him to save? We shall see.

Both Ryan and Chris were at Redondo Union High School covering the Elite 11 Finals, but when this news broke they left the event and headed into the USCFootball.com studio to record this emergency podcast. The guys give their instant reaction to the news that USC could leave the Pac-12, the potential reasons behind the move, what impact it could have on the Trojans athletic program going forward and what sort of blow would it be to the Pac-12 if the Los Angeles schools departed.

In this edition of the Peristyle Podcast hosts Ryan Abraham is joined by a very special guest, USC's director of football sports performance Bennie Wylie talking about his role as the team's strength and conditioning coach and how the players have been performing this summer. Wylie comes to USC after spending four years with Lincoln Riley at Oklahoma, but he and Riley have a much longer history than that. Back in 2002 when Wylie was Texas Tech's head strength and conditioning coach, Riley was walk-on quarterback on the team (and former USC offensive coordinator Kliff Kingsbury was the starting QB). Wylie talked about following Riley from Norman to Los Angeles and how that transition has been for him. Ryan also gets into a big hire for the Trojans, Mississippi State senior associate athletic director for football Dave Emerick who will now be USC's general manager/senior associate athletic director for football. Emerick has been head coach Mike Leach's right hand man for 18 years and according to Bruce Feldman, this is a huge hire for the Trojans.
