The Big Ten Conference has announced it will expand from 14 to 15 teams in its tournament next season, as confirmed by the league's announcement on future basketball scheduling formats. With the addition of Oregon, UCLA, USC, and Washington, the league will grow to 18 teams next year. However, the Big Ten will not expand conference basketball schedules despite the increase in teams, resulting in three teams being unable to participate in the conference tournaments.
