After news broke on Friday morning that Oregon and Washington may remain in the Pac-12, it appears that the two schools are once again on the brink of leaving for the Big Ten.
Oregon and Washington have not yet formally applied for Big Ten membership, which is a requirement to be formally accepted by the conference. Both of those things are expected to occur “in short order” sources told Sports Illustrated‘s Pat Forde.
Forde’s report comes on the heels of ESPN’s Pete Thamel reporting that the Big Ten is expected to move ahead with formal offer letters for Oregon and Washington. A vote is expected to take place later today to formalize admission, barring any last-minute snags, per Thamel.
