July 01, 2022 | General
A joint statement Friday afternoon from CU Boulder Chancellor Dr. Philip DiStefano and Athletic Director Rick George on Thursday's announcement that the University of Southern California and UCLA are leaving the Pac-12 Conference in 2024 to join the Big Ten:
The announcement of USC and UCLA joining the Big Ten came as a disappointment to all of us at CU Boulder. Despite this news, we remain resolute in our commitment to our student-athletes and will continue to provide them the resources for success both in the classroom and on the fields of competition.Â
We have been in constant communication with our fellow universities as well as conference leadership and will continue to work closely as this dynamic situation continues to develop. CU Boulder is a world-class academic institution with elite athletic programs and will continue to be a leading voice in the changing college athletics landscape. Â
