When the Massive Ten strikes from 14 league members to 18 starting subsequent season, it can invite solely 15 of the 18 groups within the league to the convention match.
Jon Rothstein reported the news early Friday afternoon.
The league can also be planning to remain at 20 league video games regardless of including 4 new applications to the convention. That can imply nearly all of convention matchups might be single performs and creates an much more unbalanced schedule than the present setup with 14 groups.
Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington are becoming a member of the league starting this summer season.
According to Dana O’Neil of The Athletic, right here’s how the revised convention match will work:
Below the brand new format, the league will add a recreation to the Wednesday slate, with the Tenth-place finisher enjoying the Fifteenth-place finisher. The winner of that recreation faces the No. 7 seed on Thursday, with the match in any other case continuing in its regular style, and the highest 4 seeds incomes a double bye till Friday.
This yr’s Massive Ten match for males’s and ladies’s basketball might be performed in Minneapolis and all 14 convention members will take part.
