Big Ten, Pac-12 suspend non-conference agreement

The Big Ten also will revisit increasing the number of conference games. Remember, the league in August agreed to go to a nine-game conference schedule by 2017 but shelved the plan after the Pac-12 agreement surfaced. I wouldn't be surprised at all if the nine-game league schedule was back on the table very soon. It's also possible the Big Ten explores a scheduling agreement with another league, but don't hold your breath, especially if that other league already plays nine league games.
