No need to hurry. That was the message Big Ten Conference commissioner Jim Delany shared with reporters Tuesday in Chicago when asked about the leagueâ??s expansion plans.
Despite a recent report that the Big Ten has already invited Notre Dame, Nebraska, Missouri and Rutgers to join the league, Delany reiterated Tuesday during the Big Tenâ??s annual spring meetings that he will continue to follow the timetable of 12 to 18 months that he laid out in December.
