- On Wednesday, Big Ten Conference Commissioner Tony Petitti received a five-year contract extension through summer 2033 by unanimous approval of the conference's leadership.
- Under Petitti, the Big Ten expanded from 14 to 18 schools with Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA joining, while the conference won three consecutive football national championships.
