The Big Ten is about to get big-big-bigger

It's not stopping at 12 teams, sports fans.

The Big Ten won't add just one more school. It will add three, maybe even five new members.

Won't that be wild?

Big Ten representatives met in Washington on Sunday. Oh, to be a fly on that wall.

Here's what Teddy Greenstein of the Chicago Tribune wrote this weekend:

The thinking among those in touch with Big Ten officials is the conference likely will add at least three schools to end up with a 14- or 16-team league.

"I don't think 16 is scaring anyone off, as long as you can find (five) that are a good enough fit," said one source who has been consulted during the exploratory phase. "They're looking long-term, across the horizon. What gives them the best shot at keeping value at a high level?"

The superconferences are coming, folks. Sooner rather than later. The Big Ten will be active on this matter, not reactive. You'll see.
