USC and Michigan are threatening to leave the Big 10 conference because the B10 is considering a $2.4 billion private equity investment paid by the California Pension Fund over 20 years. The Big 10 would sell off part of the new corporate enterprise.

Michigan hates it because they believe it is an unnecessary "payday loan" that would bail out poorly financed schools. USC hates it because they would receive less up front as a new school.

All other Big 10 schools support it. If USC and Michigan don't agree, they lose access to the capital and risk their future with the conference beyond 2036. 

Two Schools Are Reportedly Considering Leaving The Big Ten

Also, Michigan State football received a three year penalty and 14 wins have been vacated:

Michigan State placed on 3-year probation, 14 wins vacated

It just needs to be said. If USC and Michigan were to ever leave the Big Ten, it would be with other top teams to form some other football only "conference" not to strike out on their own. This isn't even good clickbait, and it's "Ten" not "10".
