The Big Ten is about to become the Big Eighteen.
A little over 13 months after striking a deal with USC and UCLA to join the conference, the Big Ten is adding two more West Coast schools as Oregon and Washington have decided to leave the Pac-12 and join the Big Ten, becoming the 17th and 18th members of the league, according to multiple reports.
The Big Ten is in the final stages of adding Oregon and Washington as it expands to 18 teams, industry sources tell @RossDellenger and me.
