4 days later and still no updates on a report in the Detroit Free Press that the Big Ten will be adding Syracuse, Rutgers, Pitt, Nebraska and Missouri. As we’ve come to known when there are such “unconfirmed reports”, there has been no follow-up.

All five schools have been mentioned in the past as candidates, along with Connecticut. Many seem to think that if it came down to 5 total schools, the Uconn and Pitt would be battling it out for the last spot. Regardless, there has been no update and we should still expect to wait until December for the Big Ten to make it’s intentions public.
