The University of Oregon has reportedly reached out to the Big Ten to determine whether they would be a good fit to join the heavily Midwestern conference. Following USC and UCLA's departures from the Pac-12 to the Big Ten, several west coast schools have been rumored to be interested in following them, and this is the first official confirmation that the Ducks would be interested in leaving the Pac-12 sooner than later.
Oregon has initiated preliminary discussions in Chicago w/Big Ten to determine if Ducks are compatible in the Big Ten, source told @ActionNetworkHQ. Big Ten “not done expanding,” sources told @ActionNetworkHQ last week. https://t.co/DYMZADm17v
