Report: Oregon Ducks, Washington Huskies To Accept Invitation To Join Big Ten Conference
By 750 The Game
Multiple reports say the University of Oregon and the University of Washington plan to accept invitations to join the Big Ten Conference.
Friday morning, the Pac-12 CEO group met in hopes of signing the conference’s grant of rights that would keep together the remaining nine member institutions following the departures of USC, UCLA and Colorado.
The grant of rights was not signed, however, and now Oregon and Washington are planning to leave.
The Action Network’s Brett McMurphy and Yahoo! Sports Dan Wetzel and Ross Dellenger had the news first.
