Jim Delaney says Big Ten discussing 20-game conference schedule

Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany told ESPN there have been ongoing discussions about moving to a 20-game league schedule and Michigan State's Tom Izzo feels as though it's heading in that direction.

"I personally see us going to a 20-game schedule," Izzo told ESPN on Monday. "I don't think there's any question it's going to happen -- and I'm not overly against it."

The Big Ten added two conference games and went from 16 to 18 back in 2007-08.

Delany said the coaches haven't voted on whether to go from an 18 to a 20-game conference slate yet.
