6 suggested new names for the Big Ten Conference, which reportedly could get Oregon and Washington

The … Bigger Ten Conference?

UPDATE: Oregon and Washington will join the Big Ten starting in the 2024-25 academic year.

Uh, it’s certainly been a chaotic Friday in college sports, and as of publishing this, it might get nuttier.

There was uncertainty about what could happen to the Pac-12 — at first, there was talk that Oregon and Washington (and perhaps others?) might leave for the Big Ten. Then? Maybe that wasn’t happening.

But now there’s a report that the Ducks and Huskies will join the Big Ten, and that could lead to the Pac-12 (er, 10?) crumbling.

Which brings us to important business: What the heck are they going to call the Big Ten when there will be a lot more than 10 teams in it?
