The Big 10 Conference (B1G), formerly Western Briefing and Big Ix Briefing, is the oldest Division I collegiate able-bodied briefing in the United States. The conference competes in the NCAA Division I; its football game teams compete in the Football Basin Subdivision (FBS), formerly known equally Partition I, the highest level of NCAA contest in that sport. The conference includes the flagship public academy in each of eleven states stretching from New Bailiwick of jersey to Nebraska, every bit well as two additional public land grant schools and a private academy.

The Big X Conference established itself almost 120 years ago equally the premiere collective of academic institutions in the state when, in 1895, Purdue University president James H. Smart and representatives from the Academy of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Michigan, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University, and University of Wisconsin gathered at the Palmer House Hotel in Chicago to set policies aimed at regulating intercollegiate athletics. In 1905, the conference was officially incorporated as the "Intercollegiate Conference Athletic Clan".^[i] The conference uses the "B1G" graphic symbol combination in its branding, noting that it "allows fans to see 'BIG' and 'ten' in a single word."^[2]

Big X member institutions are predominantly major flagship research universities that have large financial endowments and are well-regarded academically. Large student enrollment is also a hallmark of Big Ten universities, as 12 of the 14 members feature enrollments of xxx,000 or more than students. Northwestern University, one of simply two full members with a total enrollment of fewer than xxx,000 students (the other is the University of Nebraska–Lincoln), is the solitary private academy amongst Big Ten membership. Collectively, Big 10 universities brainwash more than 520,000 total students and accept v.seven million living alumni.^[3] Big Ten universities appoint in $9.3 billion in funded enquiry each twelvemonth.^[4] Though the Big Ten existed for nearly a century as an assemblage of universities located primarily in the Midwest, the briefing now has a geographic footprint which spans from the state of Nebraska in the west to the Atlantic Ocean in the east.

Despite the conference's name, the Big Ten has grown to fourteen members, with the following universities accepting invitations to join in the years shown: Pennsylvania Land University in 1990, the University of Nebraska–Lincoln in 2010, the Academy of Maryland and Rutgers University in 2014. Johns Hopkins Academy was invited in 2012 to join the Big Ten as an acquaintance member participating in men's lacrosse only. In 2015, it was too accustomed as an associate member in women's lacrosse.

History

Initiated and led by Purdue University president James Henry Smart,^[nineteen] the presidents of University of Chicago, University of Illinois, Academy of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, Northwestern University, Purdue University and Lake Woods Higher met in Chicago on January xi, 1895 to hash out the regulation and control of intercollegiate athletics. The eligibility of student-athletes was one of the main topics of discussion.^[20] The Intercollegiate Briefing of Faculty Representatives was founded at a second meeting on February 8, 1896.^[21] Lake Wood was non at the 1896 meeting that established the conference and was replaced by the University of Michigan. At the time, the system was more ordinarily known as the Western Conference, consisting of Purdue, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Illinois, Chicago, and Northwestern.

The commencement reference to the conference as the Big Nine was in 1899 later on Iowa and Indiana had joined. Nebraska kickoff petitioned to bring together the league in 1900 and again in 1911, but was turned abroad both times. In April 1907, Michigan was voted out of the briefing for declining to attach to league rules.^[23] Ohio Country was added to the conference in 1912. The first known references to the conference as the Big X were in Nov 1917 after Michigan rejoined after a nine-year absence.^{[24] [25] [26]}

The conference was again known as the Large 9 afterwards the University of Chicago decided to de-emphasize varsity athletics just afterwards Globe State of war II. Chicago discontinued its football program in 1939^[27] and withdrew from the conference in 1946 afterward struggling to obtain victories in many conference matchups. It was believed that i of several schools, notably Pittsburgh, Nebraska, Michigan State, Marquette, Notre Dame, and Iowa State would replace Chicago at the fourth dimension.^[28] On May 20, 1949,^[21] Michigan Land ended the speculation past joining and the briefing was again known as the Large Ten. The Big 10'due south membership would remain unchanged for the next 40 years. The conference's official proper name throughout this menstruum remained the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives. It did not formally adopt the name Large X until 1987, when it was incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation.

1990 expansion: Penn State

Large 10 logo (1990–2011). To reflect the addition of the 11th schoolhouse, Pennsylvania State, the number xi was disguised in the negative infinite of the "Big Ten" lettering.

In 1990, the Large Ten universities voted to aggrandize the conference to 11 teams and extended an invitation to Pennsylvania State Academy, which accustomed it.^[29] When Penn State joined in 1990, it was decided that the conference would continue to be called the Big Ten, merely its logo was modified to reflect the modify; the number 11 was bearded in the negative space of the traditionally blue "Big X" lettering.

Missouri had shown interest in Big Ten membership subsequently Penn Land joined.^[30] Around 1993, the league explored adding Kansas, Missouri and Rutgers or other potential schools, to create a 14-team league with two divisions.^[31] These talks died when the Large eight Conference merged with former Southwest Conference members to create the Big 12.

Following the add-on of previously contained Penn State, efforts were made to encourage the University of Notre Dame, at that time the last remaining non-service academy independent, to bring together the league. Early on in the 20th century, Notre Dame briefly considered official entry into the Large Ten just chose instead to retain its independent status.^[32] However, in 1999, both Notre Dame and the Large Ten entered into individual negotiations concerning a possible membership that would include Notre Dame. Although the Notre Dame faculty senate endorsed the idea with a near-unanimous vote, the school'south board of trustees decided against joining the briefing and Notre Dame ultimately withdrew from negotiations. [1] Notre Dame subsequently joined the Atlantic Coast Conference in all sports except football game, in which Notre Dame was permitted to maintain its independent status as long as it played at to the lowest degree five games per season against ACC opponents. The handling of football was believed to be the major stumbling cake to Notre Matriarch joining the Big X, every bit Notre Dame wished to keep its ability to retain their independent home game dissemination contract with NBC Sports, while the Large Ten insisted upon a total membership with no special exemptions.

Locations of the Big 10 member institutions

In Dec 2009, Large X Conference commissioner Jim Delany announced that the league was looking to aggrandize in what would later be part of a nationwide trend every bit part of the 2010–13 NCAA conference realignment.^[33] On June xi, 2010, the University of Nebraska applied for membership in the Big 10 and was unanimously approved as the conference's 12th school, which became constructive July 1, 2011.^[34] The briefing retained the proper name "Big X." This led to the interesting consequence of the Big X consisting of twelve teams, and the Large 12 consisting of ten teams.

On September one, Delany revealed the briefing's divisional split and appear the new sectionalisation names on December 13, 2010: Legends and Leaders. In the Legends division were Iowa, Michigan, Michigan Land, Minnesota, Nebraska and Northwestern. The Leaders division was equanimous of Illinois, Indiana, Ohio Country, Penn State, Purdue and Wisconsin. Conference officials stated that they had focused on creating competitive fairness rather than splitting past geographical location.^[35] The new "Legends" and "Leaders" names were not met with enthusiasm. Some traditional rivals, including Ohio Land and Michigan, were placed in separate divisions.^[36] For the football flavour, each team played the others in its division, i "cross-over" rivalry game, and two rotating cross-bounded games. At the stop of the regular flavour the two partition winners met in a new Large Ten Football game Championship Game.^[37]

On November nineteen, 2012, the University of Maryland's Board of Regents voted to withdraw from the ACC and bring together the Big Ten every bit its 13th fellow member effective on July one, 2014.^[38] The Big X'southward Quango of Presidents canonical the motility later that day.^[39] One day later, Rutgers University of the Big Eastward also accepted an offer for membership from the Large Ten as its 14th member schoolhouse.^[twoscore]

On April 28, 2013, the Big 10 presidents and chancellors unanimously approved a divisional realignment that went into consequence when Maryland and Rutgers joined in 2014.^[41] Under the new plan, the Legends and Leaders divisions were replaced with geographic divisions.^[41] The West Partitioning includes Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue and Wisconsin (of which all simply Purdue are in the Central Time Zone), while the East Segmentation includes Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers. The concluding issue in determining the new divisions was which of the two Indiana schools would be sent to the West; Purdue was called because its West Lafayette campus is geographically west of Indiana's home urban center of Bloomington.^[42] In the current divisional alignment, the just protected cross-divisional rivalry game in football game is Indiana–Purdue.^[41] Equally earlier, the two sectionalisation winners play each other in the Big Ten Football Championship Game.

In 2012, the conference announced information technology would move its headquarters from its current location in Park Ridge, Illinois to neighboring Rosemont by the cease of 2013. The new role building is situated within Rosemont'due south MB Financial Amusement District, aslope Interstate 294.

When Maryland and Rutgers joined the Big 10 in 2014, the sectionalisation names were inverse to "East" and "West", with Purdue and the six schools in the Cardinal Time Zone in the West and Indiana joining the remaining six Eastern Time Zone schools in the East. The simply protected cantankerous-partition game is Indiana–Purdue. Beginning in 2016, the Big Ten will adopt a nine-game conference schedule.^{[42] [46]} Also starting in 2016, the Large 10 will no longer allow its members to play Football Championship Subdivision teams, and will also require at least ane non-conference game against a school in the Power Five conferences (ACC, Big 12, Pac-12, SEC). At the fourth dimension this policy was first announced, games against FBS independents Notre Matriarch and BYU would automatically count toward the Ability Five requirement.^[47] Additionally, Large Ten teams that were already nether contract to play teams in the "Grouping of V" leagues (American, C-United states of america, MAC, MW, Sun Belt) will be allowed to honour those contracts. Equally of 2015, three Big Ten members had American member Cincinnati on their hereafter schedules, ane had fellow American member Connecticut on its future schedule; and 1 had future games scheduled against both. ESPN, citing a Large Ten executive, reported in 2015 that the Large 10 would permit exceptions to the Power Five dominion on a case-by-case basis, and too that the other FBS independent, Army, had been added to the list of non-Power Five schools that would automatically be counted as Ability Five opponents.^[48]

Basin games

Since 1946, the Big Ten champion has had a tie-in with the Rose Basin game. Michigan appeared in the start bowl game, the 1902 Rose Bowl. After that, the Big 10 did non allow their schools to participate in bowl games, until the agreement struck with the Pacific Coast Conference for the 1947 Rose Basin. From 1946 through 1971, the Big Ten did not allow the same team to stand for the conference in consecutive years in the Rose Basin with an exception made after the 1961 season in which Minnesota played in the 1962 Rose Bowl after playing in the 1961 Rose Basin due to Ohio State failing the bid considering of Ohio State faculty concerns virtually academics. Due to the Big X's "Rose Bowl or bosom" policy, the 1972, 1973 and 1974 Michigan squads did not play in bowl games despite posting ten wins in each season.

It was not until the 1975 season that the Large Ten allowed teams to play in bowl games other than the Rose Bowl. Michigan, which had been close out of the postseason the previous three years, was the first beneficiary of the new rule when it played in the Orange Basin vs. Oklahoma. Due to the pre-1975 rules, Big X teams such as Michigan and Ohio State have lower numbers of all-time bowl appearances than powerhouse teams from the Big 12 Briefing (previously Big Eight and Southwest Conferences) and Southeastern Conference, which ever placed multiple teams in bowl games every year.

Starting in the 2014–2015 season, a new slate of bowl game selections will include several new bowl games.^[49]

From 1993 through 2010, the Big 10 football schedule was set upwardly with each team having two permanent matches within the conference, with the other viii teams in the conference rotating out of the schedule in pairs for two-year stints. Permanent matches were as follows:Template:Citation needed

• Illinois: Indiana, Northwestern
• Indiana: Illinois, Purdue
• Iowa: Minnesota, Wisconsin
• Michigan: Michigan Country, Ohio State
• Michigan Land: Michigan, Penn Land
• Minnesota: Iowa, Wisconsin
• Northwestern: Illinois, Purdue
• Ohio State: Michigan, Penn Country
• Penn State: Michigan Country, Ohio Country
• Purdue: Indiana, Northwestern
• Wisconsin: Iowa, Minnesota

This organization was discontinued later the 2010 flavour, equally teams became grouped into two divisions, and would play all teams in their division once, with one protected cross-over game, and ii games rotating against the other five opponents from the opposing sectionalisation.

Nearly of the above permanent rivalries were maintained. Past virtue of the new alignment, a handful of new permanent divisional opponents were created, as all pairs of teams within the same sectionalization would face off each flavor. Furthermore, 3 new permanent inter-divisional matches resulted from the realignment: Purdue-Iowa, 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, acquired some of the above permanent rivalries to be discontinued. These were: Iowa-Wisconsin, Northwestern-Purdue, and Michigan Land-Penn Country. These matchups would go on to exist played, simply only twice every five years on boilerplate. More than 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 add-on of Maryland and Rutgers. The 2 new schools were placed in the new East Division with Penn State, and the ii Indiana schools were divided (Indiana to the Eastward and Purdue to the West). With the movement to a nine-game conference schedule in 2016, all cross-segmentation games will be held at to the lowest degree once in a four-twelvemonth cycle except for Indiana–Purdue, which is the just protected cross-sectionalisation game.^[41] The briefing 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 (ACC, Big 12, Pac-12 and SEC; presumably, this would as well let for non-conference games against Big Ten opponents that are non on the conference schedule). Games against independents Notre Dame (an ACC member in non-football sports) and BYU volition too count toward the Power Five requirement.^[47]

Iii Large Ten teams—Purdue, Michigan State and Michigan—had rivalries in football with Notre Dame. After the Academy of Southern California with 35 wins (including a vacated 2005 win), the Michigan State Spartans have the most wins confronting the Irish, with 28. The Purdue Boilermakers follow with 26, and Michigan ranks fourth all-time with 24.

Penn State has a longstanding rivalry with Pittsburgh of the ACC, simply the two schools have non met since 2000. However, the Penn State-Pittsburgh rivalry will be renewed with an alternating dwelling-and-home series from 2016 to 2019. Penn State also has long histories with independent Notre Dame; Temple of The American; Syracuse, and Boston College of the ACC; and W Virginia, of the Big 12 Conference. Additionally, Penn State maintains strong intrastate rivalries with Patriot League universities Bucknell in men'due south 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 game, 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 in football. Iowa and Iowa Country too compete annually in the Cy-Hawk Series sponsored by Hy-Vee (every bit of 2011 this series is at present sponsored by The Iowa Corngrowers Association), the competition includes all caput-to-head regular flavour competitions in all sports.

Indiana has an out-of conference rivalry with Kentucky of the SEC (run across 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'south basketball. The ii no longer play i some other in football game, simply their basketball rivalry continued until a dispute nigh game sites ended the serial afterward 2011. In the last flavour of the rivalry (2011–12), the teams played twice. During the regular season, then-unranked Indiana defeated and then-#i ranked Kentucky 73–72 at Associates Hall. The Wildcats avenged the loss in the NCAA tournament, defeating Indiana 102–ninety in the South Regional concluding in Atlanta on their fashion to a national championship.

In the early days of the Big X, the Chicago-Michigan game was played on Thanksgiving, unremarkably with conference title implications and was considered one of the first major rivalries of the conference.

Also in the early days of the briefing, and at Knute Rockne'south insistence, Northwestern and Notre Dame had a yearly contest, with the winner taking home a shillelagh, much similar the winner of the USC-Notre Matriarch and Purdue-Notre Dame contests now receive. The Northwestern-Notre Matriarch shillelagh was largely forgotten past the early 1960s and is now solely an element of college football game'due south storied past.^[59]
