Big Ten believes ‘timing is right’ for conference to explore expansion

Expansion of the Big Ten Conference from 11 to 12 teams is once again a possibility, the league and its Council of Presidents/Chancellors announced Monday. A 12th team would allow the conference to form divisions in football and have a championship game â?? a scenario viewed as inevitable since Penn State was voted in as the 11th school in 1990.
