Of the 14 teams that are currently in the Big 10 conference, Michigan has two teams on that list, Michigan Wolverines and Michigan State Spartans. The Big 10 is supposed to expand to 16 teams in 2024 and then will include USC and UCLA and who knows, maybe Notre Dame will finally want to join the party in a couple of years and bump it up to 17 teams.

ESPN may be the biggest loser in the bid for hosting BIG 10 football games. Currently, CBS and NBC have put in much larger bids in hopes of carrying the games on their respective networks. Plus, with two more teams coming to the conference in 2024 this could mean all-day football for networks on Saturdays who score the Big 10 rights.

According to MLive, Fox who owns a 60 percent stake in the Big Ten Network will be hosting games with the rest likely falling into the hands of CBS and/or NBC.

These new deals with CBS and NBC would also end ABC's longtime partnership with the Big 10.
