Big Ten Conference

The Big Ten Conference is a group of universities in the United States that compete together in sports. It started in 1896, making it one of the oldest college sports groups in the country. Originally, it had ten schools, which is why it is called the "Big Ten." Today, it has grown to include 18 main schools and two extra partners.

These schools are big research universities with many students—15 of them have over 30,000 students each. Most are public schools, but two, Northwestern University and the University of Southern California, are private. Together, these universities teach many students and have millions of alumni.

The Big Ten is mostly made up of schools from the Midwest, but it has grown to include schools from the East Coast to the West Coast. In 2024, it added four schools from the old Pac-12 Conference, stretching its reach even further. The conference is known not just for sports, but also for its strong academic programs and research.

Member universities

The Big Ten Conference has many universities that compete in sports together.

One school, the University of Chicago, was a member but is not part of the Big Ten anymore.

History

1890s: The conference's founding

On January 11, 1895, Purdue University president James Henry Smart asked the presidents of the University of Chicago, University of Illinois, Lake Forest College, University of Minnesota, Northwestern University, and University of Wisconsin to meet in Chicago. They wanted to make rules for college sports. One big topic was making sure players were full-time students. The conference officially began at a second meeting on February 8, 1896. Lake Forest College wasn’t at this meeting and was replaced by the University of Michigan. The seven schools at this meeting became the founding members of what is now known as the Western Conference.

The conference is one of the oldest in the country, starting ten years before the NCAA was created. It was also one of the first to sponsor men’s basketball.

1900s: Becoming the Big Ten

Nebraska wanted to join the league in 1900 and again in 1911 but was not accepted either time. In 1905, the conference became official as the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives.

In 1906, Michigan’s president asked for more rules for football. Michigan’s football coach disagreed and refused to follow the new rules. In 1907, Michigan left the conference. Ohio State joined in 1912. The first uses of the name Big Ten came in 1916 after these changes.

1940s: Chicago leaves and Michigan State joins

After World War II, the University of Chicago decided to stop focusing on college sports. In 1946, they left the conference. Several schools wanted to join, including Michigan State, Nebraska, and Pittsburgh. In 1948, Michigan State joined and the conference was called the Big Ten again. Michigan State started in other sports in 1950 and football in 1953. The conference kept the same members for the next 40 years and officially used the name Big Ten in 1987.

1990s: Penn State joins, Notre Dame declines

In 1990, the Big Ten grew to 11 teams and invited Pennsylvania State University, which joined that year. The conference kept the name Big Ten but changed its logo to show the new number. Missouri wanted to join after Penn State joined. Talks happened about adding Kansas, Missouri, and Rutgers, but these plans stopped when the Big Eight Conference merged to form the Big 12.

Efforts were made to get the University of Notre Dame to join. In 1999, they talked about it but decided not to. Notre Dame joined the Atlantic Coast Conference for most sports but stayed independent in football.

2010s: From 11 to 14

Nebraska joins

In 2010, the University of Nebraska joined as the 12th member, effective July 1, 2011. The conference kept the name Big Ten. Nebraska did not get full media revenue for the first six years.

Legends and Leaders divisions

On September 1, 2010, the conference announced new divisions for football called the Legends Division and the Leaders Division. These were not based on geography. The Legends had Iowa, Michigan, Michigan State, Minnesota, Nebraska, and Northwestern. The Leaders had Illinois, Indiana, Ohio State, Penn State, Purdue, and Wisconsin. Each team played others in its division, one crossover game, and two rotating games from the other division. The division winners played in the Big Ten Football Championship Game. These divisions were used from 2011 to 2013.

Maryland and Rutgers join

In 2012, the University of Maryland and Rutgers University joined as the 13th and 14th members, effective July 1, 2014. Like Nebraska, they did not get full media revenue right away. Both took loans from the conference to push back when they would get full shares.

West and East divisions

The conference's headquarters in Rosemont, Illinois

On April 28, 2013, the Big Ten approved new geographic divisions called West and East, effective when Maryland and Rutgers joined in 2014. The West Division had Illinois, Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, Northwestern, Purdue, and Wisconsin. The East Division had Indiana, Maryland, Michigan, Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, and Rutgers. The two division winners still played in the Big Ten Football Championship Game. These divisions were used from 2014 through 2023.

Affiliate members join

On June 3, 2013, the Big Ten began sponsoring men’s and women’s lacrosse. With Maryland and Rutgers joining, women’s lacrosse had enough teams for an automatic NCAA bid. In men’s lacrosse, Johns Hopkins University joined as an affiliate member in 2014. In 2016, Notre Dame joined as an affiliate for men’s ice hockey starting in the 2017–18 season.

In 2013, the conference moved its office from Park Ridge, Illinois to Rosemont.

2020s: Pacific expansion

Main article: 2021–2026 NCAA conference realignment

On June 30, 2022, UCLA and USC announced they would join the Big Ten effective August 2, 2024. In August 2022, the conference signed new media deals worth about $7 billion. On August 4, 2023, Oregon and Washington also announced they would join. Oregon and Washington would get less money at first but would get more each year until they reached a full share.

Football: the return of no divisions

In June 2023, the conference said it would stop using East and West divisions for football starting in 2024. Each team would play nine conference games and three non-conference games. Over four years, each team would play every other team at least twice — once at home and once away. There would be 12 protected matchups each year, including Michigan–Ohio State and others. The top two teams would play in the Big Ten Football Championship Game.

The new schedule means teams will play every other team at least twice over five years, with some opponents played more often.

Academics

All current members of the Big Ten are universities that grant doctorates, the highest degrees.

Former conference commissioner Jim Delany said in 2010 that being part of the Association of American Universities is important to the conference. All current Big Ten members, except for the University of Nebraska–Lincoln, are members of this group. Nebraska was part of the group when it joined the Big Ten but lost this status later.

Broadcasting and media rights

Fall 2007–Spring 2017

In 2004, the Big Ten Conference planned their own special channel. This became real in 2006 when they made a big agreement with Fox Sports to create the Big Ten Network. The channel started in 2007 and shows many sports games and special shows about the Big Ten schools.

With this new channel, the Big Ten also made a new ten-year deal with ESPN, CBS Sports, and the Big Ten Network. This deal decided which games would be shown on which channels each season.

Fall 2017–Spring 2023

In 2016, the Big Ten made a new six-year deal with Fox Sports, CBS Sports, and ESPN. This deal started in the 2017–18 season and ended in 2022–23. It changed where people could watch Big Ten games and increased the money each school got from these deals.

Fall 2023–Spring 2030

On August 18, 2022, the Big Ten made new seven-year deals with Fox, CBS, and NBC Sports. These deals started in the 2023–24 school year. The Big Ten wanted to have specific times for football games on each channel. The deals were worth at least $7 billion and could become even more valuable if Notre Dame Fighting Irish joined the Big Ten.

The new deals split Big Ten football games among Fox, CBS, and NBC. Each channel has certain times of day to show these games. The deals also include many basketball games and other sports events shown on different channels and online services.

Sports

The Big Ten Conference has competitions in 14 sports for men and 14 sports for women. These sports are approved by the NCAA.

Men's sponsored sports by school

Notes:

Notre Dame joined the Big Ten in 2017–18 only for men's ice hockey. For all other sports, it still competes in the ACC, except for football where it remains independent.
Johns Hopkins joined the Big Ten in 2014 for men's lacrosse and added women's lacrosse in 2016. For all other sports, it still competes in the NCAA Division III Centennial Conference.

Rivalries

The Big Ten Conference has many exciting rivalries between its teams, especially in football. Each school, except Maryland and Rutgers, has a special traveling trophy to win when they play against certain rivals. These rivalries create lots of fun and excitement for fans.

Starting in 2024, the Big Ten changed its schedule. Some special matchups are protected, meaning these teams will always play each other each season, no matter what. These include games like Michigan against Michigan State and Ohio State, and Wisconsin against Minnesota and Iowa. There are many other protected games between different teams in the conference.

Facilities

Three Big Ten football stadiums can hold over 100,000 fans: Michigan Stadium (Michigan), Beaver Stadium (Penn State), and Ohio Stadium (Ohio State). These are some of the largest stadiums in the United States and the world. UCLA's home stadium is the Rose Bowl, where the Big Ten champion plays an important game. USC plays in the Los Angeles Memorial Coliseum, which has hosted the Olympic Games twice and will host them again in 2028.

Big Ten schools also have some of the largest basketball arenas in the country. Ohio State and Maryland have two of the biggest on-campus basketball arenas. Several other Big Ten schools also have large basketball facilities. Starting in the 2024–25 season, the Big Ten will have the most on-campus basketball arenas that can hold 15,000 or more fans of any college conference.

Football

When Maryland and Rutgers joined the Big Ten in 2014, the teams were split into two groups called "East" and "West". Schools in the Central Time Zone, along with Purdue, were in the West, while Indiana and others in the Eastern Time Zone were in the East. Each team plays several games against others in different groups each year.

In 2024, four new schools joined, making 18 teams total. Now, there are no East or West groups. Each team will play nine games against other Big Ten teams and three games against teams from outside the conference. At the end of the season, the top two teams will play in the Big Ten Football Championship Game.

All Big Ten schools have marching bands that perform during football games. Many of these bands have won a special award called the Sudler Trophy, more than any other group of schools.

Men's basketball

The Big Ten Conference has been part of basketball since 1904. Big Ten fans fill their seats more often than fans from other conferences. The Big Ten is strong in men's basketball. It has many championship wins and often sends four or more teams to the NCAA men's basketball tournament. Past champions include Indiana with five titles, Michigan and Michigan State with two each, and Wisconsin and Ohio State with one each. Maryland, which joined in 2014, won a title before joining, as did UCLA, which joined in 2024 and won eleven titles before that.

Big Ten teams have also done well in the postseason National Invitation Tournament (NIT). Since 1974, thirteen Big Ten teams have played in the championship game, winning nine times. Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, and Minnesota have each won two NIT titles, while Indiana and Purdue have won one. Three other schools, Maryland, UCLA, and Nebraska, won NIT titles before joining the Big Ten.

Women's basketball

Big Ten women's basketball teams have played in many important national tournaments. They have been in 18 championship games in three big tournaments: the NCAA Division I women's basketball tournament, the Women's Basketball Invitation Tournament, and the Women's National Invitation Tournament.

Purdue and UCLA are the only Big Ten members to have won the NCAA women's basketball national title while in the conference. Other teams like Rutgers, USC, and Maryland won titles before joining the Big Ten. The Big Ten women's teams also took part in the Big Ten–ACC Women's Challenge from 2007 to 2022.

Men's ice hockey

The Big Ten began sponsoring men's ice hockey in the 2013–14 season. It was the only major conference to do this. The first season had six schools: Michigan, Michigan State, and Ohio State came from the old CCHA; Minnesota and Wisconsin joined from the WCHA; and Penn State joined after playing one season as an independent. Notre Dame became an affiliate member in 2017–18. Arizona State had a special scheduling agreement in 2020–21 but was not part of the conference. They joined the National Collegiate Hockey Conference starting in 2024–25.

Each season, coaches and media vote for players to be on All-Conference Teams and to receive individual awards. The conference also honors a Tournament Most Outstanding Player and a Sportsmanship Award winner from each team.

Awards and honors

The Big Ten Conference gives out special awards each year to honor its best athletes. One of these is the Big Ten Athlete of the Year, given to the top male and female athletes in the conference.

Other awards include the Big Ten Medal of Honor, which goes to one male and one female scholar-athlete at each school. There is also the Big Ten Sportsmanship Award, given to one male and one female student-athlete at each school each year. The NACDA Learfield Sports Directors' Cup is an award for colleges and universities that succeed in sports. Big Ten schools often do well in this award.

The Capital One Cup is given each year to the best men’s and women’s college athletics programs in the United States. Teams earn points based on their standings in NCAA Championships and coaches’ poll rankings.

Conference titles

The Big Ten Conference has many championship wins from its member schools. Some schools joined later just for certain sports. For example, Johns Hopkins joined in 2014 only for men's lacrosse and later for women's lacrosse too. Maryland had many wins before joining the Big Ten, and so did Nebraska, Penn State, and Rutgers. Chicago was a member from the start in 1896 until 1946.
