Skull Session: Big Ten Still Eyeing Expansion, Kirk Ferentz Knows Ohio State Runs the Big Ten, and a 16-Team Playoff Could Come

Word of the Day:Expansion talks have slowed as the conference is apparently playing the waiting game with Notre Dame, but that doesn't mean there aren't other schools out thereBig Ten commissioner Kevin Warren told Action Network there are “a handful of schools” besides Notre Dame that would add value as future Big Ten members.

The schools being considered by the Big Ten, sources told Action Network, are Notre Dame, Oregon, Washington, Stanford, Cal, Miami and Florida State. Warren would not comment on specific schools as potential members. “When I say add value: value is important, but I just look at the fit,” Warren told Action Network Tuesday at Big Ten Media Days. “A fit has to be there academically, has to be there athletically. All those things are really important. There are a handful of schools that potentially could add value to us, but I’m so focused right now that we welcome USC and UCLA to our conference in 2024 with open arms.

Honestly, just pull the trigger. If we're going to add USC and UCLA, may as well toss in the other ones, too. It's not like it's going to make any less sense adding Miami to a conference with a notorious midwest flavor than it does the LA schools.OHIO STATE IS KING. I've never loved Kirk Ferentz, but I might have to put the guy in my"reluctant ally" box after he essentially publicly announced yesterday that every Big Ten West team calls Ohio State daddy.
