Daily Brews: Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren envisions 20 teams, paid players in future

It’s no secret the Big Ten has some big things cooking. USC and UCLA are coming in 2024, and the conference just finalized a $7 billion media deal that includes escalators for adding even more schools.

Big Ten Commissioner Kevin Warren isn’t being quiet about his plans to do just that. A little over a week after the announcement of the TV deal, Warren will appear on HBO’s Real Sports with Bryant Gumbel, airing Tuesday. To get the word out, HBO released parts of the conversation to the media, including some remarks on expansion and paying players, which you can see and hear in the video below.
