Where does Nebraska’s roster rank in the Big Ten?
The Big Ten Conference’s spring season is right around the corner. The league will look quite different in 2024, with the addition of four new schools and divisions being scrapped.
The upcoming season will have four Pac-12 making the jump to the Big Ten, the first time they’ve expanded in a decade. The conference will be adding Oregon, Washington, UCLA, and USC.
