The Big Ten Conference is the United States’ oldest Division I college athletic conference. Its eleven member institutions are located primarily in the Midwestern United States, stretching from Iowa and Minnesota in the west to Pennsylvania in the east. The conference competes in the NCAA’s 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. Member schools of the Big Ten also are members of the Committee on Institutional Cooperation, a leading educational consortium. Despite the conference’s name, since Penn State joined in 1990, there have been 11 schools in the Big Ten, as signified by the hidden “11″ in negative space of the Big Ten Conference logo (each “1″ is on either side of the “T” in “Ten”).

cminat02: @mcarminjc @mdnorris more importantly look at the rankings of Purdue’s opponents. 5 Big Ten teams (that we play) ranked lower.
mdnorris: @cminat02 that’s pretty cool. I’ll take that 5th in the big ten. Figured OSU, Iowa, and Penn state would be the top three
