The all new B16 Ten comes to life in 2024. The conference will fully bring in UCLA and USC to make it a 16 team conference. It’s worth pausing a moment to take that in because I’m not that old, I’m 37, and yet my first true memories of the Big Ten were when they had 11 teams. Penn State joined the conference in 1993 to make the Big Ten the Big...umm actually 11. After that there was a quite period before the addition of Nebraska, Maryland, and Rutgers. Then, just as we thought we were calmed down and this was the new normal news broke that USC and UCLA, two powerhouse programs from the opposite end of the country would be joining what had traditionally been a Midwestern conference.
