Big Ten Conference Tickets

The roots of the Big Ten Conference extend to 1895 when the Western Conference was born. After Michigan and Ohio State were added by 1917, the Big Ten was coined and member schools haven’t looked back since. From 1950 to 1990 the Big Ten’s membership remained unchanged. When Penn State joined the Big Ten conference in 1990 a hidden 11 was placed in the logo to represent the 11 member schools.

Since 1946 the champion of the Big Ten Conference has received an invitation to the Rose Bowl which is the oldest college bowl game in the NCAA. Michigan, who leads the Big Ten in conference championships as of 2008, appeared in the first bowl game ever, the 1902 Rose Bowl. Eddie George, Desmond Howard and Charles Woodson are among the many great football players that sharpened their skills on Big Ten fields.

With permanent rivalries, animosity runs deep on the hardwood in the Big Ten Conference. Storied teams such as the Illinois Fighting Illini and Indiana Hoosiers meet twice a year in heated battles for Big Ten bragging rights. The Big Ten has led the nation in attendance since 1978, firmly establishing itself as a national powerhouse with multiple NCAA championships. Chris Webber, Jalen Rose, Larry Bird, John Havlicek, and Michael Redd are a few notable basketball players to emerge from the Big Ten.

Whether it is the ACC-Big Ten Challenge or just another heated regular-season game in the Big Ten, fans will not be disappointed.
