Predicting how Big Ten football could look with the expansion to 20 teams

Related Topics: Big Ten Conference

Big Ten football is going through some pretty big changes, and from the rumblings out on the internet, they aren’t done adding teams.

I thought it was a big deal when the Big Ten added Nebraska over a decade ago. This was a shock to the system because it had been since the 1990s the last time there was a change to the conference. They then added Maryland and Rutgers into the mix.

In the past year, USC and UCLA both joined the Big Ten. Just in the last week, Oregon and Washington didn’t want to get left out, so they too become a member of the conference.
