History

On January 11, 1895, the presidents of the University of Chicago, the University of Illinois, Lake Forest College, the University of Minnesota, Northwestern University, Purdue University and the University of Wisconsin met in Chicago to discuss the regulation and control of intercollegiate athletics. Events 1055 - Theodora is crowned Empress of the Byzantine Empire. Year 1895 ( MDCCCXCV) was a Common year starting on Tuesday (link will display full calendar of the Gregorian calendar (or a Common year The University of Chicago is a Private university located principally in the Hyde Park neighborhood of Chicago. This article is about the flagship campus For other uses and locations of University of Illinois, see University of Illinois (disambiguation The University of Lake Forest College, founded in 1857 is a liberal arts college located in Lake Forest Illinois. The University of Minnesota Twin Cities ( U of M or The U) is the oldest and largest part of the University of Minnesota system. Chicago (ʃɪˈkɑːgoʊ is the largest City by population in the state of Illinois and the American Midwest of the United States. The eligibility of student-athletes was one of the main topics of discussion. [14] The Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives was founded at a second meeting a year later. Lake Forest was not at the 1896 meeting that established the conference and was replaced by the University of Michigan. The University of Michigan Ann Arbor ( U of M, U-M, UM or simply Michigan) is a top-ranked Coeducational public research At the time, the organization was more commonly known as the Western Conference.

The first reference to the conference as the Big Nine was in 1899 after Iowa and Indiana had joined. The University of Iowa, is a major teaching service and Research university located on a campus in Iowa City Iowa, on the banks of the Iowa River Indiana University is the flagship campus of the Indiana University system. The first reference to the conference as the Big Ten was in 1917 after Michigan rejoined following a nine-year absence; Ohio State had been added in 1912. The Ohio State University ( OSU) is a Coeducational public Research university in the state of Ohio.

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. World War II, or the Second World War, (often abbreviated WWII) was a global military conflict which involved a majority of the world's nations, including Chicago discontinued its football program in 1939 and withdrew from the conference in 1946. Chicago continues its relationship with the conference as a member of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, the "academic Big Ten. The Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC, also known as the "Academic Big Ten" was established in 1958 and is a consortium of twelve primarily Midwestern " In 1950, Michigan State joined 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. In 1990, the Big Ten universities voted to expand the conference to 11 teams, and extended an invitation to Penn State, which it accepted. The Pennsylvania State University (commonly known as Penn State) is a state-related, land-grant, space grant public research University [15] When Penn State joined in 1990, it was decided that the conference would continue to be called the Big Ten, but its logo was modified to reflect the change; the number 11 is disguised in the white areas of the traditionally blue "Big Ten" lettering. A logo ( Greek el λογότυπος = el-Latn logotypos is a graphical element ( Ideogram, Symbol, Emblem, Icon, Sign)

Following the addition of previously independent Penn State, efforts were made to encourage the University of Notre Dame, the last remaining traditionally independent football powerhouse, to join the league. The University of Notre Dame du Lac (or simply Notre Dame) (ˌnoʊtɚˈdeɪm is a private Roman Catholic Research university located in Early in the 20th century, Notre Dame had sought official entry into the Big Ten but was never extended an invitation. [16] However, in 1999, both Notre Dame and the Big Ten entered into private 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 ND board of trustees decided against joining the conference and Notre Dame ultimately withdrew from negotiations. [2] Though the idea has been revisited in the wake of the Atlantic Coast Conference's expansion to 12 teams, neither Notre Dame nor the Big Ten has taken any official action in pursuit of Notre Dame's membership. The Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC is a collegiate athletic league in the United States. Notre Dame had, in 1995, joined the Big East Conference in all sports except football, men's lacrosse, and men's hockey, the latter for which there is no Big East Conference. The Big East Conference is a collegiate athletics conference consisting of seventeen Universities in the northeastern southeastern and midwestern United

Other possible universities that have gained favor for any possible expansion for the 12th spot in the conference include:

Due to a requirement of the Big Ten bylaws, any expansion must be within, or next to, current Big Ten territory. Rutgers The State University of New Jersey (also known as Rutgers University) is the largest institution for higher education in the state of New Jersey Syracuse University (SU is a private research university located in Syracuse, New York. The University of Missouri (also known as the University of Missouri–Columbia, Mizzou, or MU) is a public land-grant and research The University of Nebraska is the public University system in the state of Nebraska, USA. The University of Pittsburgh, commonly referred to as Pitt, is a non-sectarian coeducational independent state-related, "public" research University West Virginia University is a Coeducational public Research university in Morgantown, West Virginia, USA. Due to the addition of the Big Ten Network, expansion talks have been revisited. Expansion could mean adding a conference championship football game and adding a school in or near a large TV market, greatly aiding the Big Ten Network's marketability[17]. It is likely academics will also play an important role in any potential 12th school being invited into the conference.

On June 21, 2006, the Big Ten announced new television broadcast agreements. Events 524 - Godomar, King of the Burgundians defeats the Franks at the Battle of Vézeronce. Year 2006 ( MMVI) was a Common year starting on Sunday of the Gregorian calendar.

Picks are made after BCS selections; if two Big Ten teams participate in BCS bowls, the bowl with the #2 pick will have the first pick of the remaining teams in the conference:

The Alamo Bowl has the 4th pick in 2007 and 2008, while the Champs Sports Bowl has the 4th pick in 2009. The Capital One Bowl is an annual College football Bowl game played in Orlando Florida at the Citrus Bowl, and previously known as the The Outback Bowl is an annual College football Bowl game played at Raymond James Stadium in Tampa Florida.

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. The 1947 Rose Bowl was a College football Bowl game. It was the 33rd Rose Bowl Game. 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. The 1962 Rose Bowl game played on January 1, 1962 was the 48th Rose Bowl game. The 1961 Rose Bowl game played on January 2, 1961 was the 47th Rose Bowl game. It was not until the 1975 season that the Big Ten allowed teams to play in bowl games other than the Rose Bowl. Due to those rules, Big Ten powers such as Michigan and Ohio State have lower numbers of all-time bowl appearances than powerhouse teams from the Big 12 Conference (formerly the Big 8 Conference and Southwest Conference) and Southeastern Conference, which always placed multiple teams in bowl games every year. The Big 12 Conference is a college athletic conference of twelve schools located mostly in the central United States.
