The
Big Ten Conference

Big Ten Conference (B1G), formerly Western Conference and Big Nine
Conference, is the oldest Division I collegiate athletic conference in
the United States. Despite its name, the conference consists of 14
members (as of 2018). They compete in the
NCAA

NCAA Division I; its
football teams compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS),
formerly known as Division I-A, the highest level of
NCAA

NCAA competition
in that sport. The conference includes the flagship public university
in each of 11 states stretching from
New Jersey

New Jersey to Nebraska, as well
as two additional public land grant schools and a private university.
The
Big Ten Conference

Big Ten Conference was established in 1895 when Purdue University
president James H. Smart and representatives from the University of
Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, University of
Minnesota, Northwestern University, and University of Wisconsin
gathered at Chicago's Palmer House Hotel to set policies aimed at
regulating intercollegiate athletics. In 1905, the conference was
officially incorporated as the "Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty
Representatives".[1]
Big Ten member institutions are predominantly major flagship research
universities with large financial endowments and strong academic
reputations. Large student enrollment is also a hallmark of Big Ten
Universities, as 12 of the 14 members feature enrollments of 30,000 or
more students. Northwestern University, one of just two full members
with a total enrollment of fewer than 30,000 students (the other is
the University of Nebraska–Lincoln), is the lone private university
among Big Ten membership (the University of Chicago, a private
university, left the conference in 1946). Collectively, Big Ten
universities educate more than 520,000 total students and have 5.7
million living alumni.[2] Big Ten universities engage in $9.3 billion
in funded research each year.[3] Though the Big Ten existed for nearly
a century as an assemblage of universities located primarily in the
Midwest, the conference's geographic footprint now stretches east to
the Atlantic Ocean.
Big Ten universities are also members of the Big Ten Academic
Alliance, an academic consortium. In 2014–2015, members generated
more than $10 billion in research expenditures.[4] Despite the
conference's name, the Big Ten has grown to fourteen members, with the
following universities accepting invitations to join: Pennsylvania
State University in 1990, the
University of Nebraska–Lincoln

University of Nebraska–Lincoln in
2011, and both the
University of Maryland

University of Maryland and
Rutgers University

Rutgers University in
2014.
Johns Hopkins University

Johns Hopkins University was invited in 2012 to join the Big Ten
as an associate member participating in men's lacrosse only. However,
in 2015, it was also accepted as an associate member in women's
lacrosse. Notre Dame has joined the Big Ten on July 1, 2017 as an
associate member in men's ice hockey.[5]

History[edit]
Initiated and led by
Purdue University

Purdue University President James Henry
Smart,[11] the presidents of University of Chicago, University of
Illinois, University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin,
Northwestern University,
Purdue University

Purdue University and
Lake Forest College

Lake Forest College met
in
Chicago

Chicago on January 11, 1895 to discuss the regulation and control
of intercollegiate athletics. The eligibility of student-athletes was
one of the main topics of discussion.[12] The Intercollegiate
Conference of Faculty Representatives was founded at a second meeting
on February 8, 1896.[13] Lake Forest was not at the 1896 meeting that
established the conference and was replaced by the University of
Michigan. At the time, the organization was more commonly known as the
Western Conference, consisting of Purdue, Michigan, Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Illinois, Chicago, and Northwestern.
The first reference to the conference as the Big Nine was in 1899
after Iowa and
Indiana

Indiana had joined. Nebraska first petitioned to join
the league in 1900 and again in 1911,[14] but was turned away both
times. In April 1907,
Michigan

Michigan was voted out of the conference for
failing to adhere to league rules.[15] Ohio State was added to the
conference in 1912. The first known references to the conference as
the Big Ten were in February 1917, when
Michigan

Michigan sought to rejoin the
conference after a nine-year absence.[16]
The conference was again known as the Big Nine after the University of
Chicago

Chicago decided to de-emphasize varsity athletics just after World War
II.
Chicago

Chicago discontinued its football program in 1939[17] and withdrew
from the conference in 1946 after struggling to obtain victories in
many conference matchups. It was believed that one of several schools,
notably Iowa State, Marquette,
Michigan

Michigan State, Nebraska, Notre Dame,
and Pittsburgh would replace
Chicago

Chicago at the time.[18] On May 20,
1949,[13]
Michigan

Michigan State ended the speculation by joining and the
conference was again known as the Big Ten. The Big Ten's membership
would remain unchanged for the next 40 years. The conference's
official name throughout this period remained the Intercollegiate
Conference of Faculty Representatives. It did not formally adopt the
name Big Ten until 1987, when it was incorporated as a not-for-profit
corporation.
1990 expansion: Penn State[edit]
Big Ten logo (1990–2011). To reflect the addition of the 11th
school, Penn State, the number 11 was placed in the negative space of
the "Big Ten" lettering.
In 1990, the Big Ten universities voted to expand the conference to 11
teams and extended an invitation to Atlantic 10 member and football
independent Pennsylvania State University, which accepted it.[19] When
Penn State joined in 1990, it was decided the conference would
continue to be called the Big Ten, but its logo was modified to
reflect the change; the number 11 was disguised in the negative space
of the traditionally blue "Big Ten" lettering.
Missouri showed interest in Big Ten membership after Penn State
joined.[20] Around 1993, the league explored adding Kansas, Missouri
and Rutgers or other potential schools, to create a 14-team league
with two football divisions.[21] These talks died when the Big Eight
Conference merged with former
Southwest Conference

Southwest Conference members to create
the Big 12.
Following the addition of Penn State, efforts were made to encourage
the University of Notre Dame, at that time the last remaining
non-service academy independent, to join the league. Early in the 20th
century, Notre Dame briefly considered official entry into the Big Ten
but chose to retain its independent status.[22] However, in 1999,
Notre Dame and the Big Ten entered into private negotiations
concerning a possible membership that would include Notre Dame.
Although Notre Dame's faculty senate endorsed the idea with a
near-unanimous vote, the school's board of trustees decided against
joining the conference. [2] Notre Dame subsequently joined the
Atlantic Coast Conference

Atlantic Coast Conference in all sports except football, in which
Notre Dame maintains its independent status as long as it plays at
least five games per season against ACC opponents. This was believed
to be the major stumbling block to Notre Dame joining the Big Ten, as
Notre Dame wanted to retain its independent home game broadcasting
contract with NBC Sports, while the Big Ten insisted upon a full
membership with no special exemptions.
2010–2014 expansion: Nebraska, Maryland, Rutgers[edit]

Big Ten Conference realignment
Locations of the Big Ten member institutions
In December 2009,
Big Ten Conference

Big Ten Conference commissioner
Jim Delany announced
that the league was looking to expand in what would later be part of a
nationwide trend as part of the 2010–2014
NCAA

NCAA conference
realignment.[23] On June 11, 2010, the
University of Nebraska

University of Nebraska applied
for membership in the Big Ten and was unanimously approved as the
conference's 12th school, which became effective July 1, 2011.[24] The
conference retained the name "Big Ten." This briefly led to the
interesting and ironic result of the Big Ten consisting of twelve
teams, and the Big 12 consisting of ten teams (with fellow former Big
12 member Colorado's move to the Pac-12 Conference).
Legends and Leaders divisions[edit]
On September 1, 2010, Delany revealed the conference's football
divisional split, but noted that the division names would be announced
later. Those division names, as well as the conference's new logo,
were made public on December 13, 2010. For their new logo, the
conference replaced the "hidden 11" logo with one that uses the "B1G"
character combination in its branding. Delany did not comment on the
logo that day, but it was immediately evident that the new logo would
"allow fans to see 'BIG' and '10' in a single word."[25]
For the new football division names, the Big Ten was unable to use
geographic names, as used by the SEC, because they had rejected a
geographic arrangement. Delany announced that the new divisions would
be known as the "Legends Division" and "Leaders Division". In the
Legends division were Iowa, Michigan,
Michigan

Michigan State, Minnesota,
Nebraska and Northwestern. The Leaders division was composed of
Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin.
Conference officials stated they had focused on creating competitive
fairness rather than splitting by geographical location.[26] However,
the new "Legends" and "Leaders" names were not met with enthusiasm.
Some traditional rivals, including Ohio State and Michigan, were
placed in separate divisions.[27]
For the football season, each team played the others in its division,
one "cross-over" rivalry game, and two rotating cross-divisional
games. At the end of the regular season the two division winners met
in a new Big Ten Football Championship Game.[28] The Legends and
Leaders divisional alignment was in effect for the 2011, 2012, and
2013 football seasons.
West and East divisions[edit]
On November 19, 2012, the University of Maryland's Board of Regents
voted to withdraw from the ACC and join the Big Ten as its 13th member
effective on July 1, 2014.[29] The Big Ten's Council of Presidents
approved the move later that day.[30] One day later, Rutgers
University of the Big East also accepted an offer for membership from
the Big Ten as its 14th member school.[31]
On April 28, 2013, the Big Ten presidents and chancellors unanimously
approved a football divisional realignment that went into effect when
Maryland and Rutgers joined in 2014.[32] Under the new plan, the
Legends and Leaders divisions were replaced with geographic
divisions.[32] The West Division includes Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota,
Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue and Wisconsin (of which all but Purdue
are in the Central Time Zone), while the East Division includes
Indiana, Maryland, Michigan,
Michigan

Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State
and Rutgers. The final issue in determining the new divisions was
which of the two
Indiana

Indiana schools would be sent to the West; Purdue was
chosen because its
West Lafayette

West Lafayette campus is geographically west of
Indiana's home city of Bloomington.[33] In the current divisional
alignment, the only protected cross-divisional rivalry game in
football is Indiana–Purdue.[32] As before, the two division winners
play each other in the Big Ten Football Championship Game.
On June 3, 2013, the Big Ten announced the sponsorship of men's and
women's lacrosse. For any conference to qualify for an automatic bid
to the
NCAA

NCAA tournament, at least six member schools must play the
sport. In women's lacrosse, the addition of Maryland and Rutgers to
the Big Ten brought the conference up to the requisite six
participants, joining programs at Michigan, Northwestern, Ohio State
and Penn State.[34] In men's lacrosse, Ohio State and Penn State were
the only existing participants. Coincident with the addition of
Maryland and Rutgers,
Michigan

Michigan agreed to upgrade its successful club
team to varsity status, giving the Big Ten five sponsoring schools,
one short of the minimum six for an automatic bid. Johns Hopkins
University opted to join the conference as its first affiliate member
beginning in 2014. Johns Hopkins had been independent in men's
lacrosse for 130 years, claiming 44 national championships.[35] As
long-time independents joined conferences (for example, Syracuse
joining the Atlantic Coast Conference), other schools competing as
independents in some cases concluded that the inability to earn an
automatic bid to the
NCAA

NCAA tournament was becoming a more serious
competitive disadvantage in scheduling and recruiting.
On March 23, 2016, the
Big Ten Conference

Big Ten Conference and Notre Dame announced the
Fighting Irish would become a men's ice hockey affiliate beginning
with the 2017–18 season.[36] Notre Dame had been a member of Hockey
East, and the move saves travel time and renews rivalries with former
CCHA and WCHA members.
The conference's new headquarters in Rosemont, Illinois
In 2012, the conference announced it would move its headquarters from
its location in Park Ridge,
Illinois

Illinois to neighboring Rosemont by the
end of 2013. The new office building is situated within Rosemont's MB
Financial Entertainment District, alongside Interstate 294. The move
into the building was finalized on October 14, 2013.[37][38][39]
Commissioners[edit]
The office of the commissioner of athletics was created in 1922 "to
study athletic problems of the various member universities and assist
in enforcing the eligibility rules which govern Big Ten
athletics."[12]

Main article: Big Ten Academic Alliance
With the exception of Nebraska, each Big Ten institution is a member
of the
American Association of Universities

American Association of Universities and is ranked in the US
News & World Report top 100 and the
Times Higher Education

Times Higher Education top
200.[40] Nebraska joined the AAU in 1909 but was removed in April 2011
when the AAU disallowed
University of Nebraska

University of Nebraska Medical Center data
points to be included in the AAU formula and began to decrease the
weight given to agricultural research. Commissioner
Jim Delany stated
that Nebraska's removal from the AAU would have no bearing upon their
Big Ten membership. Nebraska does, however, lead the
NCAA

NCAA with a
record of 314 Academic All-Americans (followed by Notre Dame with
221).[41][42] Currently, no Division I conference is composed
exclusively of AAU members. However, the University Athletic
Association, a Division III conference is composed of entirely AAU
members.
All Big Ten members are members of the Big Ten Academic Alliance
(BTAA), formerly known as the Committee on Institutional Cooperation
(CIC), an academic consortium which allows students at Big Ten
institutions to take distance courses at other participating
institutions.[43] Students at participating schools are also allowed
"in-house" viewing privileges at other participating schools'
libraries.[44] The BTAA also employs collective purchasing, which has
saved member institutions $19 million to date.[45] The University of
Chicago, a former
Big Ten Conference

Big Ten Conference member, was a member of the CIC
from 1958 to June 29, 2016 (when it was renamed the Big Ten Academic
Alliance).[46][47]
Schools ranked by revenue[edit]
The schools below are listed by conference rank of total revenue.
Total revenue includes ticket sales, contributions and donations,
rights/licensing, student fees, school funds and all other sources
including TV income, camp income, food and novelties. Total expenses
includes coaching/staff, scholarships, buildings/ground, maintenance,
utilities and rental fees and all other costs including recruiting,
team travel, equipment and uniforms, conference dues and insurance
costs. Surplus (or deficit) is calculated using the total revenue and
total expenses data provided by USA Today, individual institutions and
the United States Department of Education.[48]

CBS Sports Best in College Sports award is weighed more heavily
toward sports that generate fan and media interest. The poll rates
five sports: football, men's basketball, women's basketball, baseball
and a "wild card" sport. The wild-card spot is awarded to the most
successful among schools' other spectator sports: softball, men's
lacrosse, men's ice hockey, men's soccer, wrestling, volleyball,
women's soccer or women's gymnastics. Women's basketball, baseball,
and the "wild card" carry normal weight, with men's basketball double
and football triple.

Big Ten Conference

Big Ten Conference football season
When Maryland and Rutgers joined the Big Ten in 2014, the division
names were changed to "East" and "West", with Purdue and the six
schools in the
Central Time Zone

Central Time Zone in the West and
Indiana

Indiana joining the
remaining six
Eastern Time Zone

Eastern Time Zone schools in the East. The only
protected cross-division game is Indiana–Purdue. Beginning in 2016,
the Big Ten adopted a nine-game conference schedule.[33][57] Also
since 2016, the Big Ten no longer allows its members to play Football
Championship Subdivision teams, and also requires at least one
non-conference game against a school in the Power Five conferences
(ACC, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC). At the time this policy was first
announced, games against FBS independents Notre Dame and BYU would
automatically count toward the Power Five requirement.[58]
Additionally, Big Ten teams that were already under contract to play
teams in the "Group of Five" leagues (American, C-USA, MAC, MW, Sun
Belt) were allowed to honor those contracts. As of 2015[update], three
Big Ten members had American member
Cincinnati

Cincinnati on their future
schedules, one had fellow American member Connecticut on its future
schedule; and one had future games scheduled against both. ESPN,
citing a Big Ten executive, reported in 2015 that the Big Ten would
allow exceptions to the Power Five rule on a case-by-case basis, and
also that the other FBS independent at that time, Army, had been added
to the list of non-Power Five schools that would automatically be
counted as Power Five opponents.[59]

Big Ten Conference Champions[edit]
Main articles:
List of Big Ten Conference football champions and Big
Ten Football Championship Game
Bowl games[edit]
Since 1946, the Big Ten champion has had a tie-in with the Rose Bowl
game.
Michigan

Michigan appeared in the first bowl game, the 1902 Rose Bowl.
After that, the Big Ten did not allow their schools to participate in
bowl games, until the agreement struck with the Pacific Coast
Conference for the 1947 Rose Bowl. From 1946 through 1971, the Big Ten
did not allow the same team to represent the conference in consecutive
years in the Rose Bowl with an exception made after the 1961 season in
which Minnesota played in the
1962 Rose Bowl after playing in the 1961
Rose Bowl due to Ohio State declining the bid because of Ohio State
faculty concerns about academics.
It was not until the 1975 season that the Big Ten allowed teams to
play in bowl games other than the Rose Bowl. Michigan, which had been
shut out of the postseason the previous three years, was the first
beneficiary of the new rule when it played in the
Orange Bowl

Orange Bowl vs.
Oklahoma. Due to the pre-1975 rules, Big Ten teams such as Michigan
and Ohio State have lower numbers of all-time bowl appearances than
powerhouse teams from the
Big 12 Conference

Big 12 Conference (previously Big Eight and
Southwest Conferences) and Southeastern Conference, which always
placed multiple teams in bowl games every year.
Starting in the 2014–15 season, a new slate of bowl game selections
will include several new bowl games.[60]

Bowl selection procedures[edit]
Although the pick order usually corresponds to the conference
standings, the bowls are not required to make their choices strictly
according to the win-loss records; many factors influence bowl
selections, especially the likely turnout of the team's fans. Picks
are made after CFP selections; the bowl with the #2 pick will have the
first pick of the remaining teams in the conference.
For all non-

College Football Playoff partners, the bowl partner will
request a Big Ten team. The Big Ten will approve or assign another
team based on internal selection parameters.

Orange Bowl

Orange Bowl will select
the highest-ranked team from the Big Ten, SEC or Notre Dame to face an
ACC opponent. The Big Ten Champion cannot play in the Orange Bowl. If
a Big Ten team is not selected by the Orange Bowl, the Citrus Bowl
will submit a request for a Big Ten team.
The Outback, Foster Farms and Holiday Bowls will feature at least five
different Big Ten schools over the six-year agreement (through 2019
season). The Music City and Taxslayer Bowl will coordinate their
selections allowing only one to pick a Big Ten team. The Big Ten will
make appearances in three of each bowl games over the term of the
agreement (through 2019 season).
The New Era
Pinstripe Bowl

Pinstripe Bowl will feature a minimum of six different Big

Head coach compensation[edit]
The total pay of head coaches includes university and non-university
compensation. This includes base salary, income from contracts,
foundation supplements, bonuses and media and radio pay.[67]
Two Big Ten member schools—Northwestern, a private institution, and
Penn State, exempt from most open records laws due to its status as
what Pennsylvania calls a "state-related" institution—are not
obligated to provide salary information for their head coaches, but
choose to do so.

NCAA women's
basketball national title while a member of the conference. Both
schools that joined in 2014, Maryland and Rutgers, won national titles
before joining the Big Ten—Rutgers won the final AIAW championship
in 1982, when it was a member of the Eastern 8, and Maryland won the
NCAA

NCAA title in 2006 as a member of the ACC. Big Ten women's basketball
led conference attendance from 1993 to 1999.[74]
Like the men's teams, the women's basketball teams in the Big Ten
participate in the Big Ten–ACC Women's Challenge, which was founded

Awards[edit]
At the conclusion of each regular season schedule the coaches of each
Big Ten team, as well as a media panel, vote which players they choose
to be on the three All-Conference Teams:[79] first team, second team
and rookie team. Additionally they vote to award the 5 individual
trophies to an eligible player at the same time. The Big Ten also
awards a Tournament Most Outstanding Player which is voted on after
the conclusion of the conference tournament. Each team also names one
of their players to be honored for the conference Sportsmanship Award.
All of the awards were created for the inaugural season (2013–14).

From 1993 through 2010, the Big Ten football schedule was set up with
each team having two permanent matches within the conference, with the
other eight teams in the conference rotating out of the schedule in
pairs for two-year stints. Permanent matches were as follows:[citation
needed]
Illinois: Indiana, Northwestern
Indiana: Illinois, Purdue
Iowa: Minnesota, Wisconsin
Michigan:
Michigan

Michigan State, Ohio State
Michigan

Michigan State: Michigan, Penn State
Minnesota: Iowa, Wisconsin
Northwestern: Illinois, Purdue
Ohio State: Michigan, Penn State
Penn State:
Michigan

Michigan State, Ohio State
Purdue: Indiana, Northwestern
Wisconsin: Iowa, Minnesota
This system was discontinued after the 2010 season, as teams became
grouped into two divisions, and would play all teams in their division
once, with one protected cross-over game, and two games rotating
against the other five opponents from the opposing division.
Most of the above permanent rivalries were maintained. By virtue of
the new alignment, a handful of new permanent divisional opponents
were created, as all pairs of teams within the same division would
face off each season. Furthermore, three new permanent
inter-divisional matches resulted from the realignment: Purdue–Iowa,
Michigan

Michigan State–Indiana, and Penn State–Nebraska. The following
past permanent matches were maintained across divisions:
Minnesota–Wisconsin, Michigan–Ohio State, and
Illinois–Northwestern.
The new alignment, however, caused some of the above permanent
rivalries to be discontinued. These were: Iowa–Wisconsin,
Northwestern–Purdue, and
Michigan

Michigan State–Penn State. These matchups
would continue to be played, but only twice every five years on
average. More rivalries were disrupted, and some resumed on a yearly
basis, when the league realigned into East and West Divisions for the
2014 season with the addition of Maryland and Rutgers. The two new
schools were placed in the new East Division with Penn State, and the
two
Indiana

Indiana schools were divided (
Indiana

Indiana to the East and Purdue to
the West). With the move to a nine-game conference schedule in 2016,
all cross-division games will be held at least once in a four-year
cycle except for Indiana–Purdue, which is the only protected
cross-division game.[32] The conference later announced that once the
new scheduling format takes effect in 2016, members will be prohibited
from playing FCS teams, and required to play at least one
non-conference game against a team in the
Power Five conferences

Power Five conferences (ACC,
Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC; presumably, this would also allow for
non-conference games against Big Ten opponents that are not on the
conference schedule). Games against independents Notre Dame (an ACC
member in non-football sports) and BYU will also count toward the
Power Five requirement.[58]

Extra-conference rivalries[edit]
Three Big Ten teams—Purdue,
Michigan

Michigan State and Michigan—had
rivalries in football with Notre Dame. After the University of
Southern California with 35 wins (including a vacated 2005 win), the
Michigan

Michigan State Spartans have the most wins against the Irish, with 28.
The
Purdue Boilermakers

Purdue Boilermakers follow with 26, and
Michigan

Michigan ranks fourth
all-time with 24.
Penn State has a longstanding rivalry with Pittsburgh of the ACC, but
the two schools did not meet from 2000 until renewing the rivalry with
an alternating home-and-home series from 2016 to 2019. Penn State also
has long histories with independent Notre Dame; Temple of The
American; Syracuse, and
Boston

Boston College of the ACC; and West Virginia,
of the Big 12 Conference. Additionally, Penn State maintains strong
intrastate rivalries with
Patriot League

Patriot League universities Bucknell in
men's basketball and men's lacrosse, and Lehigh in wrestling. Most of
these rivalries were cultivated while Penn State operated independent
of conference affiliation; the constraints of playing a full
conference schedule, especially in football, have reduced the number
of meetings between Penn State and its non-Big Ten rivals.
Iowa has an in-state rivalry with Iowa State of the Big 12, with the
winner getting the
Cy-Hawk Trophy

Cy-Hawk Trophy in football. Iowa and Iowa State
also compete annually in the Cy-Hawk Series sponsored by Hy-Vee (as of
2011 this series is now sponsored by The Iowa Corngrowers
Association), the competition includes all head-to-head regular season
competitions in all sports. Iowa also holds rivalries in basketball
with the state's other two Division I programs, Drake and Northern
Iowa.
Indiana

Indiana has an out-of-conference rivalry with Kentucky of the SEC (see
Indiana–Kentucky rivalry). While the two schools played in football
for many years, the rivalry was rooted in their decades of national
success in men's basketball. The two no longer play one another in
football, but their basketball rivalry continued until a dispute about
game sites ended the series after 2011. In the last season of the
rivalry (2011–12), the teams played twice. During the regular
season, then-unranked
Indiana

Indiana defeated then-#1 ranked Kentucky 73–72
at Assembly Hall. The Wildcats avenged the loss in the NCAA
tournament, defeating
Indiana

Indiana 102–90 in the South Regional final in
Atlanta

Atlanta on their way to a national title. The teams next played in the
2016
NCAA

NCAA tournament, with
Indiana

Indiana winning.
Illinois

Illinois has a longstanding basketball rivalry with the SEC's Missouri
Tigers, with the two men's teams squaring off annually in the
"Braggin' Rights" game. It has been held in
St. Louis

St. Louis since 1980,
first at the
St. Louis

St. Louis Arena and since 1994 at the Scottrade Center.
This rivalry has been carried over into football as "The Arch Rivalry"
with games played at the
Edward Jones Dome

Edward Jones Dome in
St. Louis

St. Louis in 2002 and
2003 and four games in 2007 through 2010.[3]
Wisconsin has a long-standing in-state basketball rivalry with
Marquette. The series has intensified as of late with both teams
having made the Final Four in recent years. The schools also played an
annual football game before Marquette abandoned its football program
in 1961. The school also has minor rivalries in basketball with the
two other Division I members of the
University of Wisconsin

University of Wisconsin System,
which include the University of Wisconsin–
Milwaukee

Milwaukee and University
of Wisconsin–Green Bay.
Minnesota men's ice hockey has a prolific and fierce border rivalry
with the University of North Dakota. The two teams played annually
between 1948 and 2013 as members of the Western Collegiate Hockey
Association prior to the inception of the Big Ten Conference. The
rivalry will resume in 2016 in non-conference action.
In the early days of the Big Ten, the Chicago–
Michigan

Michigan game was
played on Thanksgiving, usually with conference championship
implications and was considered one of the first major rivalries of
the conference. See Chicago–
Michigan

Michigan football rivalry.
Also in the early days of the conference, and at Knute Rockne's
insistence, Northwestern and Notre Dame had a yearly contest, with the
winner taking home a shillelagh, much like the winner of the
USC–Notre Dame and Purdue–Notre Dame contests now receive. The
Northwestern–Notre Dame shillelagh was largely forgotten by the
early 1960s and is now solely an element of college football's storied
past.[85]
Facilities[edit]
The Big Ten is second to the
Southeastern Conference

Southeastern Conference (SEC) in football
stadiums that seat over 100,000, with the Big Ten having three to the
SEC's four. The Big Ten's 100,000-seat stadiums are Beaver Stadium,

stadium have such a capacity: Texas A&M's Kyle Field, Neyland
Stadium at the University of Tennessee,
Bryant–Denny Stadium

Bryant–Denny Stadium of the
University of Alabama and LSU's Tiger Stadium in the SEC, and Darrell
K Royal–Texas Memorial Stadium at the University of Texas at Austin
in the Big 12 Conference. The three stadiums are three of the four
largest football stadiums in the United States, as well as the third,
fourth, and seventh largest sports stadiums in the world.
The Big Ten is home to two of the top-10 largest on-campus basketball
arenas in the country: Ohio State's
Value City Arena

basketball facilities in the United States. The Big Ten Conference
features more on-campus basketball arenas with seating capacities of
15,000 or more than any other conference in the country.

conference's future, as well as its rich heritage, strong tradition of
competition, academic leadership, and passionate alumni," said
Gericke. "Its contemporary collegiate lettering includes an embedded
numeral "10" in the word "BIG", which allows fans to see "BIG" and
"10" in a single word. Memorable and distinctive, the new logo evolved
from the previous logo's use of negative space and is built on the
conference's iconic name, without reference to the number of member
institutions. The new logo also provides the flexibility of multiple
versions which can be used horizontally, vertically and within new
media.
