Big Ten spokesman Scott Chipman said that a 3 p.m. announcement Tuesday regarding what he called "potential expansion'' is planned. He declined to elaborate.
Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez last week told the university's board that he thinks the conference is serious about adding a 12th team.
Conference commissioner Jim Delany as recently as March called expansion a "back-burner'' issue.
The Big Ten last added a team in 1990 when Penn State joined. The school had been an independent.
Bout time they join the rest of civilization. I'm hearing that they won't ask Notre Dame again and will likely target Missouri, Louisville, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, or Rutgers.

The logical choice would be Notre Dame, but I doubt that would happen
