One college insider has come out with an interesting prediction for the Big Ten in college expansion chatter involving some Pac-12 schools.
Dodd further explained that Oregon and Washington aligned academically with the conference and that they would be a natural fit in the conference alongside USC and UCLA,"mitigating travel issues" in the conference for the schools.
Dodd wrote:"An 18-team league would make the Big Ten the biggest in the history of major-college football. It would create significant scheduling issues and result in balking from existing rightsholders, who will be asked to pay more. Perhaps a streaming service would get involved to defer costs. Best guess: Oregon and Washington would take less than a full Big Ten share at least initially to be part of the richest conference in the land.
Of Washington and the Big Ten, he wrote:"The Huskies would absolutely be part of the ideal with Oregon to the Big Ten. They have a large media market and are among the top available brands in the sport as well. With USC, UCLA, Oregon, and Washington, the Big Ten would have a great start to a western conference."
