Twitter reaction to USC’s first-ever Big Ten football schedule
The first-ever USC Big Ten football schedule has been released.
The Trojans now know their full 2024 list of opponents.
It’s all very exciting, and it’s a glimpse into a very new and different future for the Men of Troy.
You will want to follow our new Big Ten College Wire partners: Cornhuskers Wire is one. You will want to check in on Cornhuskers Wire for extensive coverage of Nebraska football.
We also talked to Hawkeyes Wire about this new Big Ten schedule before it came out.
Badgers Wire caught the leaked details of the Big Ten schedule a few hours before the formal announcement on Thursday afternoon. There are so many reactions to gather. Here’s how the larger college football world reacted to USC’s first Big Ten football schedule:
MANY MUSINGS
1) B1G forcing that coast-to-coast thing with Rutgers vs UCLA
2) If you don't have a must-play annual opponent by now, are you really a Big Ten school? (Penn State)
3) PSU-Mich St should be that annual matchuphttps://t.co/pl5EQUQr0i

THE VIEW FROM IOWA
Don’t like the idea of USC and UCLA in Big Ten but it’s a nice consolation prize to not have to trudge through the usually weak and low-scoring Big Ten West schedule anymore.

WE CAN WAIT A FEW YEARS
Any word yet on the 2026 Big Ten football schedule?

MARYLAND PERSPECTIVE
For years, the prospects of the Big Ten dropping divisional play have loomed as a Big boost for Maryland, which has gone 3-22 against the East's three top programs.
That change arrived today, with a softer new schedule and one protected rivalry game:https://t.co/7wm1LIMeY3

MARQUEE GAMES
I say this in the podcast (out tomorrow), but I'm happy for Big Ten fans that the league built the most competitive schedule it can.
Fans are being asked to foot the bill for pricier tix, TV subscriptions, NIL collectives, etc. It's right to reward the fans with good football. https://t.co/MZUzwl0lGo

OLD TIME RELIGION
Seeing UCLA and USC on Michigan State's 2025 schedule enrages me 😅 the Big Ten is a Midwest conference and I will die on that hill

PENN STATE VIEW
Penn State’s home Big Ten games:
Michigan State, Nebraska, Ohio State, USC, NorthwesternAway:
Purdue, Wisconsin, Rutgers, IndianaPenn State’s 2024 Big Ten schedule gives it a real good shot at making the playoffs. Especially since it will be 12 teams.

PAC-12 ANGLE
Biggest implication of B1G launching a 2024 AND 2025 schedule:
Oregon & Washington are stuck fighting for relevance and recognition on the Pac 12 Channel*
*or Peacock if Washington schedules a B1G team

NOTABLE
Approximate distance USC will travel for its six games away from the Coliseum next season: 9,642 miles

NEW WORLD
Other than UCLA, which is just across town, USC’s other four Big Ten road destinations (Maryland, Northwestern, Penn State Purdue) are each more than 2,000 miles away https://t.co/kSpvGu62RG
