Big Ten "Maps" Commercial / Big Ten Conference

For fans of the Big Ten Conference, the "maps" commercial has become somewhat of a phenomenon. From the music to the visual aesthetic, every aspect of the commercial works to perfection - which is why fans were eagerly awaiting for the updated version to reflect the four new schools that have joined the conference. On Friday, the Big Ten delivered.

We know you’ve been waiting for this one…

The map now includes Oregon, USC, UCLA and Washington - the four newest members of the conference. Outsiders may find it strange that a commercial would garner so much attention and love from a collection of fans, but it's clear from the reaction on social media that the conference hit a home run with this one.

Big ten actually gave the fans what they wanted. Major W
