The Big Ten's new "Maps" commercial is here.
Now that Oregon, UCLA, USC and Washington are official Big Ten members, the conference released an updated version of its "Maps" commercial, a 30-second advertisement the Big Ten had used since Maryland and Rutgers became member schools in 2014.

The updated "Maps" commercial replicates the original, panning from the West Coast of the United States to the East Coast as the Big Ten's now-18 schools emerge. The commercial also features the same catchy song, "Silver Lining" by Guards:
I wanna live forever on a boat out in the sea
I wanna build a happy home, a home for you and me
I wanna touch the silver lining we'll be shining everywhere
I wanna live forever I don't care
"We know you've all been waiting for this one," the Big Ten Conference X account posted on Friday. "'Maps' is here, and it's beautiful."
