Rutgers University and Big Ten commissioner Jim Delany will conduct a press conference Tuesday in Piscataway, N.J., announcing that the school will become the Big Ten’s 14th member effective in 2014.

This announcement comes one day after Maryland was granted admission into the conference by the Big Ten Council of Presidents & Chancellors. Rutgers has been a member of the Big East since 1991.

The Big Ten Network will have live coverage of Rutgers’ press conference at 12:45 p.m. Central.
