It appears the Big Ten will not be adding any new teams anytime soon.
College football insider Brett McMurphy of the Action Network has reported that the Big Ten has “no desire to expand” and is not interested in Florida State, specifically. The Big Ten had long been considered a potential landing spot for the Seminoles should they be able to get out of the ACC.
In the report from McMurphy, a Big Ten source stated Big Ten Commissioner Tony Petitti has no appetite to further expand at this time. Should the ACC fall apart, then that could change but otherwise don’t expect the league to make any moves anytime soon.

Big Ten, SEC unlikely to add Florida State if it leaves ACC & ACC survives, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. Big Ten & SEC don’t want FSU because adding FSU doesn’t make financial sense, no desire to expand & “they’ve been a disruptive partner,” sources said https://t.co/YhOPDC3O1k
