Nebraska AD makes statement that further conference expansion is expected

The Big Ten has been at the center of recent conference expansion and realignment, and it appears more changes will be coming.

Nebraska Athletic Director Trev Alberts recently spoke with Amie Just of the Lincoln Journal Star about the recent moves the Big Ten has made in adding Oregon and Washington. As you should know by now, both the Ducks and Huskies will join the Big Ten along USC and UCLA in 2024. Those moves will push the Big Ten to 18 teams and from what Alberts told Just, it sounds like he expects that number to grow even bigger.

See in the tweet below how Alberts envisions the future of the Big Ten and how he expects more expansion to occur:

The statement from Alberts isn’t directly noting the Big Ten is actively looking to add more teams but really comes off as a warning to fans who aren’t happy about the recent moves. Alberts is essentially giving everyone a heads-up that they should expect more changes to come in the future.

We at Spartans Wire also expect more changes to occur within the Big Ten and even put out a list of potential schools the league will pursue. Check out that post below:
