Did the Big Ten Offer Or Didn't They?

The million dollar question is did the Big Ten ask other teams to join their conference or was it a smoke screen. Big Ten officials say the rumors are just not true. The rumor mill has been cranked up for the last few years on how the Big Ten wanted to expand the conference, but nothing concrete has come out until recently. Names such as Notre Dame, Nebraska, Missouri, Rutgers, and others have been mentioned as possible additions to the Big Ten. As of right now the Big Ten is denying all this.

Of course the Big Ten will deny any rumors of this type. They do not want to look bad or let anything out of the bag right now. Plus the teams that are in conferences are still under contracts and they will keep quiet until the time is right. Yes, the Big Ten is going to expand. The only thing that hasn't been decided just yet is whom and how many teams. I look for the Big Ten to add between two or three teams before it is all said and done. Who those teams maybe is still up in the air.
