The Big Ten reportedly will hold steady and wait on a potential PAC-12 collapse before further expanding.
USC and UCLA will join the Big Ten in 2024, and everyone expects further expansion to happen in the coming years. Could it happen within a year or two, five years or the next decade? A timeline is unknown, but nobody expects the Big Ten or SEC to stop growing.
It’s an arms race, and you never stop building weapons in an arms race.
Big Ten expansion reportedly hinges on PAC-12 implosion.

There is no caveating a perfect game.
Such is the nature of perfection: It does not allow room for but or almost or well, actually… There are only the smooth zeroes of the box score. The feat remains far too rare to argue with. Until this week, MLB had seen just 23, not even two dozen across nearly a century and a half of history. Baseball is full of flukes and quirks and capricious twists of fate. But the bar for perfection is high enough that there is no backing into it. With so few perfect games in so many years? Accidents do not exist here.
New York veteran starter Domingo German authored a perfect game against the Oakland Athletics on Wednesday night, as the Yankees right-hander allowed no hits and no walks on 99 pitches in an 11-0 victory at the Oakland Coliseum.
The rebuilding Chicago Blackhawks made the obvious official Wednesday night, selecting Regina Pats center Connor Bedard, 17, with the first overall pick in the 2023 NHL draft in Nashville, Tennessee, before the Anaheim Ducks took center stage at No. 2.
The Ducks threw an early curve in Thursday night’s draft, using the No. 2 overall pick on Leo Carlsson over Adam Fantilli.
The Flyers drafted Matvei Michkov seventh overall Wednesday night despite the possibility that the 18-year-old forward may not debut in the NHL until 2026-27 because he is under contract to play in his native Russia for the next three seasons.
Jesus Ferreira scored a hat trick and the United States beat St. Kitts and Nevis 6-0 in Gold Cup group play.
Veteran sharpshooter Eric Gordon is set to hit unrestricted free agency this offseason after the Clippers declined to guarantee his $21 million contract for the 2023-24 season, per ESPN’s Adrian Wojnarowski.
The decision to let Gordon walk will reportedly have some significant financial benefits for the team, too. According to ESPN’s Bobby Marks, the team figures to save $110 million on its luxury tax bill.
Heading into free agency, the Clippers had the highest estimated luxury tax bill in the league, by a wide margin.
Yankees starting pitcher Domingo German became the 24th pitcher in MLB history to record a perfect game on Wednesday after he shut down the Athletics during an 11–0 win.
German became the first-ever Dominican-born player to achieve the feat. The last MLB player to throw a perfect game was Mariners ace Félix Hernández back in 2012, so it’d been over a decade since fans were treated to a truly flawless outing.
German sat down all 27 batters he faced, striking out nine batters without allowing a baserunner.
New York Yankees right-hander Domingo Germán threw the 24th perfect game in MLB history. Germán led the Yankees as they wiped the floor with the Oakland A’s, 11-0, on Wednesday at the Coliseum.
Even the home crowd started to cheer as Germán, 30, faced three final outs in the ninth inning.
Here’s the historic moment:
