Nebraska could face a new Big Ten reality sooner than expected

As if there wasn't enough to talk about with Week 1 of the season officially kicking off on Thursday night (and Nebraska football's season kicking off with it), a brand new topic surfaced on Wednesday morning. Talk of more Big Ten expansion in the near future is back on the table.

The latest talk about the conference adding more teams actually surfaced before Wednesday morning. Earlier this week, new Maryland athletic director Jim Smith shed some light on where he thinks things will be in 2030. The Terps leader said he believes the Big Ten will grow to 20 teams.
