Does a bigger, more powerful BigTen make sense for schools in the middle? McGrawDHDSports B1GCats Illini
College football fans got an illustration this week of what the Big Ten will look like in 2024 when USC and UCLA officially extend the conference from coast to coast.
When it comes to drawing four million viewers, the Big Ten holds its own with the SEC. Both leagues had 14 conference games that exceeded that total last year. There are a variety of reasons why this is not likely to happen anytime soon, but let's say the Big Ten did add two of the three teams mentioned above. They'd obviously be expected to join the conference's top-tier, contending for championships and playing in the high-profile television slots.
Eventually, college football may move from the Power Five conferences to a Power Two, featuring only the Big Ten and SEC. They'd split from the NCAA, in theory, make their own rules and establish a form of revenue-sharing with the players. Barriers to getting bigger It's possible the college football landscape could stay roughly the same for the next decade or so. There were reports former Big Ten commissioner Kevin Warren wanted to add more Pac-12 schools, Oregon and Washington topping the list, but was turned down by conference presidents.
