Would they have invited UCLA, if USC said "no"?
I think maybe, but, like you yourself say, it was about the L.A. market.
USC was never going to say no to double the money. It was UCLA the big 10 had to convince, not SC. They could have easily taken just SC if that’s what they wanted.
Now, that sounds like the $C we all know.
But they needed "to corner the market..."
"Throw me in Hell,
As long as it pays."
