Further expansion is upon the Big Ten as Tony Petitti has made his first big move as commissioner.
Multiple sources are reporting that Oregon & Washington are expected to officially join the Big Ten after months of speculation about expansion. A vote will take place within the Big Ten on Friday afternoon, which is expected to be unanimous.
The two new additions will bring the total number of schools in the Big Ten to 18. This is the largest in the country and there are still talks to expand further. The news comes months after USC and UCLA planned to join the conference.
