Big Ten plans announcement on 'possible expansion'

CHICAGO -- The Big Ten says it plans to make an announcement regarding the possibility of expanding the 11-team conference.

Big Ten spokesman Scott Chipman said a 3 p.m. announcement Tuesday regarding what he called "potential expansion" is planned. He declined to elaborate.

Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez last week told the university's board that he thinks the conference is serious about adding a 12th team.

Conference commissioner Jim Delany as recently as March called expansion a "back-burner" issue.

The Big Ten last added a team in 1990 when Penn State joined. The school had been an independent.

Why would they leave the B12N? They have a chance to make it to the b12CG every year in that division. Plus, that would mean that Mizzou would have to be replaced in order to keep that conference structured the way it is. If they walk with no replacement, they cant have a CG game.

Which team(s) would you like to see added?

Maybe they should change the name of the conference.

In all honesty, if ND were SMART, they would join. As it stands right now, they HAVE to win 10 games to be BCS bound, no matter what. Without adding in SoS of IC games, it hurts their chances. You can WIN a conference with less than 10 wins and go to the BCS, especially in the Big 10.
