RUMOR: Big Ten ‘will most likely’ move to 10 game conference schedule following recent expansion

The additions of Oregon and Washington will reportedly result in an additional Big Ten conference game on everyone’s schedule

The additions of Oregon and Washington will reportedly result in an additional Big Ten conference game on everyone’s schedule.

There is a rumor being reported by a “Michigan insider” at On3.com that the Big Ten will “most likely be moving to 10 conference games” with the additions of the Ducks and Huskies. This would also be the case should the league look to add two more teams to reach 20 total teams in the conference.

The Big Ten will most likely be moving to 10 conference games according to a Michigan insider at their On3 website (no not one of the dumb fake ones, a real one). That isn't surprising. The math works better at 10 than 9. Especially if 2 more schools are added. Then the 2 non-con…

This rumor has yet to be reported by any other big-time news media outlets at this time so for now it is simply a rumor. But this rumor does make a lot of sense when you think about the size of the Big Ten and the fact that the TV networks would love additional conference games.

If the Big Ten does actually expand to 10 games — which is still not certain — then it’ll be interesting to see if that’ll occur in 2024 when USC, UCLA, Oregon and Washington join the league or further down the road. It’ll result in schools having to adjust their future schedules either way but if it is in 2024, then that would mean Michigan State would have to cut one of their non-conference games against Florida Atlantic, Louisiana or Boston College.

LSJ columnist Graham Couch explains how the Big Ten has become a ‘bully’ through recent expansion

The college football landscape is shifting again — and the Big Ten is mostly to blame

The college football landscape is shifting again — and the Big Ten is mostly to blame.

The Big Ten added two more Pac-12 teams this past week with the additions of Oregon and Washington on Friday. The Huskies and Ducks will join USC and UCLA in entering the Big Ten in 2024. Also on Friday, Arizona, Arizona State and Utah announced they’d be leaving the league to join the Big 12 — leaving the once proud and rich Pac-12 with just four teams: Cal, Oregon State, Stanford and Washington State.

So it’s fair to say the Big Ten is a bully that resulted in the death of the Pac-12, right? Well, that’s the thought from Graham Couch of the Lansing State Journal — to which I agree.

Click on the tweet below to read the complete column from Couch on how the Big Ten has become a bully that helped complete the downfall of the Pac-12:

The Big Ten has become unlikable. Untrustworthy. A bully. Maybe that's how you win these days in major college athletics. But nothing that transpired last week felt like winning.

Ranking each Big Ten team based on current state, long-term success in expanded league

See where Michigan State football stands amongst its peers when the league expands to 18 teams in 2024

The Big Ten grew this past week by adding a pair of premier college football programs in Oregon and Washington.

With the additions of the Ducks and Huskies, the Big Ten will now be 18 teams starting in 2024. They’ll enter the league at the same time as USC and UCLA.

With there being plenty of excitement and talk around the new-looking Big Ten, I took a stab at power ranking the 18 teams based on the current state and long-term success within the newly expanded conference. These rankings are not only taking into effect how I envision the programs looking this upcoming season but also how I project they could finish in the first few years in the expanded league.

See where I slate Michigan State amongst the new Big Ten field below:

Oregon, Washington to officially join Big Ten in 2024

The Big Ten is getting even bigger with the additions of Oregon and Washington now official

Oregon and Washington will officially be joining the Big Ten.

On Friday evening, things became official with Oregon and Washington receiving and accepting invites to join the Big Ten conference. The Ducks and Huskies will join USC and UCLA as new members in the league in the fall of 2024.

With the expansion of Oregon and Washington, the Big Ten will now have 18 schools starting next year. There is still a possibility the league could expand further as some (including myself) believe the league will want to get to at least 20 schools.

The Pac-12 also lost Arizona, Arizona State and Utah on Friday night. Those three schools joined Colorado in leaving for the Big 12 — which now leaves the Pac-12 with only four schools: Stanford, Cal, Washington State and Oregon State.

BREAKING: Big Ten to reportedly add Oregon, Washington in 2024

Welcome to the Big Ten, Oregon and Washington

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.

New report suggests Big Ten is close to adding Oregon, Washington

It appears Oregon and Washington joining the Big Ten is close to happening

It appears Oregon and Washington joining the Big Ten is close to happening.

According to Brett McMurphy of the Action Network, the Big Ten is “just trying to figure out financials at this point” in their attempt to add Oregon and Washington as the 17th and 18th members of the conference. The exact quote from McMurphy’s Big Ten source is below:

Big Ten just trying to figure out financials at this point on Oregon & Washington, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. “There is no more research or information needed on Oregon & Washington,” B1G sources said. “We have everything we need.”

It’s unclear how soon Oregon and Washington would join the Big Ten but it seems like things are moving fast enough where it could be next year with the arrivals of USC and UCLA.

Stay tuned with Spartans Wire for the latest updates on the potential Big Ten expansion that could occur in the coming days or weeks.

Wild rumor suggests Big Ten could add Clemson, Oregon, others by end of this week

Could the Big Ten again shock the world with a big-time expansion move?

Could you imagine a world that has Florida State, Clemson, Oregon and Washington in the Big Ten? That’s apparently a possibility.

Jack McGuire of Barstool Sports’ Unnecessary Roughness podcast has stated the Big Ten “will add Washington, Oregon, FSU, and Clemson this week.” That’s a pretty wild statement but would be a lot of fun if it’s true.

Apparently there is a legit rumor that the Big Ten conference could add #Clemson, #FSU, #Oregon, and #Washington THIS WEEK👀.

These would be 4 fantastic additions to their conference and would most definitely rival the SEC.

Just a rumor for now but leave your thoughts below. pic.twitter.com/Hxynwlehr7

The college football world is in the midst of realignment yet again with Colorado electing to leave the Pac-12 for the Big 12. There is smoke around others leaving the Pac-12 for the Big 12 as well — including Arizona, Arizona State and Utah.

Washington and Oregon have long been considered candidates for the Big Ten, but there has been no indication that either would be coming any time soon. The addition of both of those schools plus Florida State and Clemson before the end of this week seems highly unlikely — but then again who knows these days…
