The Chicago Tribune reported today that Big Ten conference expansion, which was originally reported to be on a 12-18 month schedule, is being fast-tracked right now, just four months after the original announcement:
Big Ten Expansion Might Be Happening Verrrry Soon; Here’s Who Might Get Taken
↵↵An accelerated timetable has emerged, according to sources familiar with the process.
↵High-ranking Big Ten representatives will meet Sunday in Washington to discuss expansion. The timing and location of the session make sense considering the Association of American Universities has its semi-annual meetings there through Tuesday and all 11 Big Ten schools are AAU members.
↵↵We’ve done plenty of research at SBN, and we’ve got an exhaustive, scientific list of potential teams, ranked by likelihood that the Big Ten will ask them to join:
↵1. Notre Dame
↵2. Syracuse
↵3. Pittsburgh
↵4. Rutgers
↵5. Texas
↵6. Nebraska
↵7. Boston College
↵8. Kansas
↵9. Virginia
↵10. Miami
↵...
