In this special edition of the Peristyle Podcast host Ryan Abraham is joined by Shotgun Spratling to give their initial reaction to the newly released Big Ten football schedule for the 2024/2025 football seasons. The Big Ten announced the removal of divisions and the introduction of the Flex Protect Plus scheduling model that will allow every Big Ten team to play a home and road game against all 15 other conference opponents in a four year period.
For the Trojans their protected rival (program you will play every season) is UCLA and in year one USC welcomes Michigan, Iowa, Wisconsin and Illinois to the Coliseum with UCLA, Penn State, Maryland, Northwestern and Purdue on the road (to go along with Notre Dame at home and LSU in Las Vegas). In 2025 USC has Indiana, Michigan State, Nebraska, Penn State and UCLA at home and Ohio State, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Rutgers on the road.
Initially Ryan and Chris Trevino were scheduled to discuss the massive USC recruiting weekend on Tuesday, but Ryan got ill and we had to postpone the show. So now the guys will spend the latter part of the show talking about how USC hosted more than a dozen class of 2024 official visitors to campus, a well attended USC Elite Camp and what seemed like a constant stream of Fight On! emojis signifying player commitments.
The list of scholarship pledges included Modesto (Calif.) Central Catholic four-star offensive lineman Manasse Itete, Clearwater (Fla.) High’s 247Sports Composite four-star safety Jarvis Boatwright, Englewood (Colo.) Cherry Creek offensive tackle Hayden Treter , Gardena (Calif.) Serra four-star defensive back Dakoda Fields and Atlanta (Ga.) Booker T. Washington Top247 edge Kameryn Fountain.
USC moved up from No. 57 all the way up to No. 21 in the country and No. 2 in the Pac-12. They did so by adding players that should help balance out the class, not only positionally but also geographically.
This video is a simulcast of our latest Peristyle Podcast episode.

I would think for Purdue they fly in to Indianapolis
Why would you fly into Cincinnati to get to Ohio Stadium. You fly to Columbus and 20 minutes down the road is the horseshoe.
You will fly into Indy, take 65 straight through Crawfordsville. Never fly to Chicago for any future Purdue or Indiana games
University Park airport is right there next to Penn State. Just fly in on your PJ like normal people.
😊this is cool 😎 bye ✌🏽 bye Pac-12
West Lafayette, is usually less than an hour from ORD or MDW. Easy Trip!
Fight On ✌️❤💛✌️
As a USC fan in Alexandria, VA. I am excited to go to the game in Maryland, Fight on!
Iowa at PSU is a prime time confirmed white out game
Ya stay in school and get your degree.
Just wait till ya get to Bloomington Indiana. It’s a quick ride from Indianapolis’s or possibly an airport in Bloomington
The B1G scheduling will affect the 12 playoff bids & seedings for sure…
Hell of a gauntlet. Sure is exciting.
Holy cow just proved your boring lives let's just get on with it and talk about SC
Purdue isn't far from Chicago or Detroit.
Madison has their own airport which you can get to with one change of planes from LAX. Otherwise, Milwaukee's airport is 1 1/2 hours away and Chicago Ohare Airport is 2 hours away from Madison.
Its simple, everyone plays everyone, every 2 years.
Rutgers and Maryland matters bro. Don’t bring that west coast USC high horse shit over here. Play the game on the field and not on a podcast‼️
Looking forward to seeing the the High Profile Games at the Coli and on the road 🛣️… The revenue and the excitement is back! Fight On✌️🔥✌️
Columbus has two airports you can't get any easier that you silly goose.
Madison is not that small. You guys know there are cities outside of LA. Better ones if you ask me.
Ohio State already has a lane to California.
middle of nowhere? it's literally less than an hour from indy and had the first college airport….Neil Armstrong went there before USC.
Of course you don't want USC to go to Camp Randal or Lincoln in November.
Madison is a fantastic college town. USC vs B1G is gonna be bonkers. Go Blue!!
wait..in los angeles we have neiborhoods that have airports.u telling me some of these places on the schedule,dont have even a stage coach station bear by ?how the f they pitch that shh ,in some recruits living room,tell him he has unlimited accses to his pick of trim ,in the form of all the sheep that kick have been marked?
For Purdue and Indiana, you need to fly to Indianapolis.
3 or 4 losses both years unless they get that leaky defense fixed. This is a make-or-break year for Grinch. Attention B1G OCs: USC is open over the middle on EVERY play.
You guys are gonna get your asses kicked in the Big Ten
