On June 11, 2010, the Big Ten Conference announced that its member schools voted unanimously to accept the University of Nebraska as the conference’s 12th member beginning on July 1, 2011. The Big Ten Conference is a union of 12 world-class academic institutions that share a common mission of research, graduate, professional and undergraduate teaching and public service. The conference’s 100-plus years of history, strong tradition of competitive intercollegiate athletic programs, vast and passionate alumni base, and consistent leadership in innovations position the Big Ten and its entire community firmly on the Big Stage. The Big Ten has sustained a comprehensive set of shared practices and policies that enforce the priority of academics and emphasize the values of integrity, fairness and competitiveness in all aspects of its student-athletes’ lives, with the ultimate goal of ensuring that each individual has the opportunity to live a Big Life. Big Ten Conference Highlights • Big Ten universities provide approximately $120 million in direct financial aid to more than 9,500 men and women student-athletes who compete for 25 championships. • Conference institutions sponsor broad-based athletic programs with 298 teams. Other than the Ivy League, the Big Ten has the most broad-based athletic programs in the United States. • Big Ten fans are some of the nation’s most supportive, with nearly nine million patrons attending conference home contests for football, men’s and women’s basketball and volleyball during 201011.
