Oregon and Washington will officially be joining the Big Ten.
On Friday evening, things became official with Oregon and Washington receiving and accepting invites to join the Big Ten conference. The Ducks and Huskies will join USC and UCLA as new members in the league in the fall of 2024.
With the expansion of Oregon and Washington, the Big Ten will now have 18 schools starting next year. There is still a possibility the league could expand further as some (including myself) believe the league will want to get to at least 20 schools.
The Pac-12 also lost Arizona, Arizona State and Utah on Friday night. Those three schools joined Colorado in leaving for the Big 12 — which now leaves the Pac-12 with only four schools: Stanford, Cal, Washington State and Oregon State.
