Welcome to the Big Ten, Oregon and Washington.
One year after making a splash with the additions of USC and UCLA, the Big Ten is reportedly doing the same thing. Just this time it’s with Oregon and Washington.
Multiple credible sources are reporting that the Big Ten is set to extend an official offer to join the league to both Oregon and Washington on Friday afternoon. The move comes exactly one year after the conference also stole USC and UCLA from the Pac-12.
Sources: Big Ten expected to move ahead with formal offer letters for Oregon and Washington. A Big Ten vote is expected to take place later today to formalize their admission, barring any last-minute snags.
