It appears Oregon and Washington joining the Big Ten is close to happening.
According to Brett McMurphy of the Action Network, the Big Ten is “just trying to figure out financials at this point” in their attempt to add Oregon and Washington as the 17th and 18th members of the conference. The exact quote from McMurphy’s Big Ten source is below:
Big Ten just trying to figure out financials at this point on Oregon & Washington, sources told @ActionNetworkHQ. “There is no more research or information needed on Oregon & Washington,” B1G sources said. “We have everything we need.”

It’s unclear how soon Oregon and Washington would join the Big Ten but it seems like things are moving fast enough where it could be next year with the arrivals of USC and UCLA.
