Eric Musselman from USC Trojans reveals frustrations over Big Ten Road Time Plan

When the USC Trojans started the Big Ten Conference after years in the PAC-12, one of the first questions that came to mind was how the Trojans wanted to deal with the trip. It is difficult to be on the street at first. If you admit the fact that USC runs thousands of miles for conference games with several street games with a few weeks, this adds up. Schools such as Rutgers, Maryland and Ohio State are thousands of miles except USC.

USC coach Eric Musselman made his thoughts and feelings on the long road trips of the Trojans, after they lost to Rutgers on February 23, they have the program and at the former PAC-12 schools, which are now in the big ten .

“Ucla, Washington, Oregon, USC, we are two to four games in the hole that are based on trips,” said Musselman. “It will be forever for men's basketball … and unless they do it in the past, which nobody has done, unless you are out here for six days.”

Mussleman was particularly upset that the Trojans played so late on a Sunday evening at 6 p.m. at 6 p.m., which means that USC returns far to Los Angeles after midnight.

“We will return around 3:00 a.m., then we'll take the bus. And then they go to class at 8:00 a.m. , and then you have a class in four hours, which means you have to get up, you have to take a shower, you have to come to class, “said Musselman.
