Big Ten Conference - wikipedia Big Ten Conference `` Big Ten '' redirects here. For other uses, see Big Ten ( disambiguation ). Big Ten Conference Established 1896 Association NCAA Division Division I Subdivision FBS Members 14 + 2 affiliate members Sports fielded 28 men 's : 14 women 's : 14 Region Midwest East North Central West North Central Northeast Mid-Atlantic Former names Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives ( officially, 1896 -- 1987 ) Western Conference ( 1896 -- 1899 ) Big Nine ( 1899 -- 1917, 1946 -- 1949 ) Headquarters Rosemont, Illinois Commissioner Jim Delany ( since 1989 ) Website www.bigten.org Locations The 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 Division I ; its football teams compete in the Football Bowl Subdivision ( FBS ), formerly known as Division I-A, the highest level of NCAA competition in that sport. The conference includes the flagship public university in each of 11 states stretching from New Jersey to Nebraska, as well as two additional public land grant schools and a private university. The 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 ''. 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. Big Ten universities engage in $9.3 billion in funded research each year. 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. 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 in 2011, and both the University of Maryland and Rutgers University in 2014. Johns Hopkins University was invited in 2012 to join the Big Ten as an associate member participating in men 's lacrosse, and 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.

History Initiated and led by Purdue University President James Henry Smart, the presidents of University of Chicago, University of Illinois, University of Minnesota, University of Wisconsin, Northwestern University, Purdue University and Lake Forest College met in 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. The Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives was founded at a second meeting on February 8, 1896. 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 Illinois, Michigan, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Chicago, Purdue, and Northwestern. The first reference to the conference as the Big Nine was in 1899 after Iowa and Indiana had joined. Nebraska first petitioned to join the league in 1900 and again in 1911, but was turned away both times. In April 1907, Michigan was voted out of the conference for failing to adhere to league rules. 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 sought to rejoin the conference after a nine - year absence. The conference was again known as the Big Nine after the University of Chicago decided to de-emphasize varsity athletics just after World War II. Chicago discontinued its football program in 1939 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 State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, and Pittsburgh would replace Chicago at the time. On May 20, 1949, 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 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. 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. Around 1993, the league explored adding Kansas, Missouri and Rutgers or other potential schools, to create a 14 - team league with two football divisions. These talks died when the Big Eight Conference merged with former 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. 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 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 Main article : 2010 -- 14 Big Ten Conference realignment Locations of the Big Ten member institutions In December 2009, 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 conference realignment. On June 11, 2010, the 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. 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 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. '' 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 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. 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. 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. The Legends and Leaders divisional alignment was in effect for the 2011, 2012, and 2013 football seasons. West and East divisions 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. The Big Ten 's Council of Presidents approved the move later that day. One day later, Rutgers University of the Big East also accepted an offer for membership from the Big Ten as its 14th member school. 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. Under the new plan, the Legends and Leaders divisions were replaced with geographic divisions. 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 State, Ohio State, Penn State and Rutgers. The final issue in determining the new divisions was which of the two Indiana schools would be sent to the West ; Purdue was chosen because its West Lafayette campus is geographically west of Indiana 's home city of Bloomington. In the current divisional alignment, the only protected cross-divisional rivalry game in football is Indiana -- Purdue. 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 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. In men 's lacrosse, Ohio State and Penn State were the only existing participants. Coincident with the addition of Maryland and Rutgers, 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. 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 tournament was becoming a more serious competitive disadvantage in scheduling and recruiting. On March 23, 2016, the Big Ten Conference and Notre Dame announced the Fighting Irish would become a men 's ice hockey affiliate beginning with the 2017 -- 18 season. 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 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. Commissioners 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.

Reed 1961 -- 1971 died in office Wayne Duke 1971 -- 1989 retired Jim Delany 1989 -- Main article : Big Ten Academic Alliance With the exception of Nebraska, each Big Ten institution is a member of the American Association of Universities and is ranked in the US News & World Report top 100 and the Times Higher Education top 200. Nebraska joined the AAU in 1909 but was removed in April 2011 when the AAU disallowed 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 with a record of 314 Academic All - Americans ( followed by Notre Dame with 221 ). 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. Students at participating schools are also allowed `` in - house '' viewing privileges at other participating schools ' libraries. The BTAA also employs collective purchasing, which has saved member institutions $19 million to date. The University of Chicago, a former 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 ).

The only protected cross-division game is Indiana -- Purdue. Beginning in 2016, the Big Ten adopted a nine - game conference schedule. 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. 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, three Big Ten members had American member 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.

Maryland and Rutgers joined the Big Ten in 2014. Nebraska joined in 2011 Big Ten Conference Champions Main articles : List of Big Ten Conference football champions and Big Ten Football Championship Game Bowl games Since 1946, the Big Ten champion has had a tie - in with the Rose Bowl game. 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 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 ( 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.

Notre Dame will be chosen the other two years if eligible. † The Big Ten and ACC will switch between the Music City and TaxSlayer bowls on alternating years. ‡ The Big Ten and Big 12 will switch between the Heart of Dallas and Armed Forces bowls on alternating years. Bowl selection procedures 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. When not hosting a semifinal, the Capital One 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 can not 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 will feature a minimum of six different Big Ten teams over the eight - year agreement ( through 2021 season ). The Quick Lane, Armed Forces and Heart of Dallas Bowls will select a bowl - eligible Big Ten team, subject to conference approval. Head coach compensation 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. 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.

Ten of fourteen member schools have won the Sudler Trophy, generally considered the most prestigious honor a collegiate marching band can receive. The first three Sudler trophies were awarded to Big Ten marching bands -- Michigan ( 1982 ), Illinois ( 1983 ) and Ohio State ( 1984 ). The Big Ten also has more Sudler Trophy recipients than any other collegiate athletic conference. Conference individual honors Main article : Big Ten Conference football individual honors Coaches and media of the Big Ten Conference award individual honors at the end of each football season. Men 's basketball See also : 2017 -- 18 Big Ten Conference men 's basketball season and Big Ten Conference Men 's Basketball Tournament The Big Ten has participated in basketball since 1904, and has led the nation in attendance every season since 1978. It has been a national powerhouse in men 's basketball, having multiple championship winners and often sending four or more teams to the NCAA Men 's Basketball Tournament. Previous NCAA champions include Indiana with five titles, Michigan State with two, and Wisconsin, Michigan, and Ohio State with one each. Maryland, which joined the Big Ten in 2014, won one NCAA championship as a member of the ACC. Ohio State played in the first NCAA tournament national championship game in 1939, losing to Oregon. Despite this, Jimmy Hull of Ohio State was the first NCAA tournament MVP. The first three tournament MVPs came from the Big Ten ( Marv Huffman of Indiana in 1940 and John Katz of Wisconsin in 1941 ). Big Ten teams have also experienced success in the postseason NIT. Since 1974, 13 Big Ten teams have made it to the championship game, winning nine championships. Michigan, Ohio State, Penn State, and Minnesota have won two NIT championships, while Indiana and Purdue have won one each. Two other current members, Maryland and Nebraska, won NIT titles before they joined the Big Ten. In addition, the Helms Athletic Foundation recognizes Illinois as the 1915 National Champions, Minnesota as the 1902 and 1919 National Champions, Northwestern as the 1931 National Champion, Purdue as the 1932 National Champions, and Wisconsin as 1912, 1914 and 1916 National Champions. Former member Chicago won a post-season national championship series in 1908. Since 1999, the Big Ten has taken part in the ACC -- Big Ten Challenge with the Atlantic Coast Conference. The ACC holds an 11 -- 5 -- 2 record against the Big Ten ; Minnesota, Nebraska, Penn State, Purdue, and Wisconsin are the only Big Ten schools without losing records in the challenge.

year stints. Permanent matches were as follows : Illinois : Indiana, Northwestern Indiana : Illinois, Purdue Iowa : Minnesota, Wisconsin Michigan : Michigan State, Ohio State Michigan State : Michigan, Penn State Minnesota : Iowa, Wisconsin Northwestern : Illinois, Purdue Ohio State : Michigan, Penn State Penn State : 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 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 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 schools were divided ( 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. 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 ( 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. Intra-Conference basketball rivalries Illinois : Indiana, Northwestern Indiana : Illinois, Purdue Iowa : Minnesota, Wisconsin Michigan : Michigan State, Ohio State Michigan State : Ohio State, Wisconsin, Michigan Minnesota : Iowa, Wisconsin Northwestern : Illinois, Purdue Ohio State : Michigan, Penn State, Michigan State Penn State : Ohio State Purdue : Indiana, Northwestern Wisconsin : Iowa, Minnesota Extra-Conference basketball rivalries Illinois : Missouri Indiana : Kentucky Iowa : Drake, Iowa State, Northern Iowa Maryland : Duke, Virginia, Georgetown Michigan : Duke Nebraska : Creighton Penn State : Bucknell, Pittsburgh Rutgers : Princeton, Seton Hall Wisconsin : Marquette Other sports Men 's ice hockey Michigan -- Michigan State ( Michigan -- Michigan State rivalry ) Minnesota -- Wisconsin ( Border Battle ) Minnesota -- North Dakota Minnesota -- Minnesota Duluth Minnesota - St. Cloud State Men 's lacrosse Maryland -- Johns Hopkins ( Johns Hopkins -- Maryland rivalry ) Penn State -- Bucknell Rutgers -- Princeton Men 's soccer Michigan -- Michigan State ( Big Bear Trophy ) Wrestling Penn State -- Lehigh Iowa -- Iowa State Iowa -- Oklahoma State Extra-conference rivalries Three Big Ten teams -- Purdue, 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 State Spartans have the most wins against 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, 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 College of the ACC ; and West Virginia, of the Big 12 Conference. Additionally, Penn State maintains strong intrastate rivalries with 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 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 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 defeated then - # 1 ranked Kentucky 73 -- 72 at Assembly Hall. The Wildcats avenged the loss in the NCAA tournament, defeating Indiana 102 -- 90 in the South Regional final in Atlanta on their way to a national title. The teams next played in the 2016 NCAA tournament, with Indiana winning. 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 since 1980, first at the 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 in 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 System, which include the University of Wisconsin -- 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 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 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. Facilities The Big Ten is second to the 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, Michigan Stadium, and Ohio Stadium. Only five other college football stadium have such a capacity : Texas A&M 's Kyle Field, Neyland Stadium at the University of Tennessee, 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 and Maryland 's Xfinity Center. Additionally, arenas at Indiana, Wisconsin, Illinois, Iowa, and Penn State rank among the top - 20 largest on - campus 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.
