"I have yet to talk to anyone in the UCLA and USC community who's in favor of the move," Kliavkoff said at conference headquarters, referencing the Trojans' exit alongside their crosstown rivals scheduled for August 2024. "I will say that I probably hear from folks who are not in favor, not surprisingly."
