UPDATE: Oregon and Washington will join the Big Ten starting in the 2024-25 academic year.
Uh, it’s certainly been a chaotic Friday in college sports, and as of publishing this, it might get nuttier.
There was uncertainty about what could happen to the Pac-12 — at first, there was talk that Oregon and Washington (and perhaps others?) might leave for the Big Ten. Then? Maybe that wasn’t happening.
But now there’s a report that the Ducks and Huskies will join the Big Ten, and that could lead to the Pac-12 (er, 10?) crumbling.
Which brings us to important business: What the heck are they going to call the Big Ten when there will be a lot more than 10 teams in it?
Twitter had thoughts:

At at some point they'll eventually have to change the name to The Really Big Conference. With all the changes it'll just be The Big However many, SEC, ACC, and whatever the Big 12 morphs into. I love the prospect of terrific inter-conference games, title games and championships https://t.co/vdt32O25Sg

The National Football Conference
LOLOLOL!
alright but hear me out. The big ten can’t operate with 20 teams under that name. it’s more of a national conference now. so they should rename it after that
The National Football Conference.

Well on the bright side, they can kinda make the “G” in B1G look like an 8. The Big 18
