It was 10 when they started.
They added PSU and stuck with the name because of it's tradition.

I think it was a rhetorical question.

Actually, it is 3 teams to make 2. Northwestern, Indiana, and Illinois account for 2/3 of a team each.

If Notre Dame would grow a pair they would have 12 teams

[TennTradition]

anyone wanna add Michigan to that 2/3 of a team list?? :lol:

 

[volinbham]

Check the Big Ten logo - it has an "eleven" in it.

 

[dantheman617]

The Big Ten might kick out Michigan after today

 

[surrealvol]

I'm just wondering how Long, Grable, Henne, and Manningham all feel about hangin' around for another year to go for the "n-a-t-i-o-n-a-l c-h-a-m-p-i-o-n-s-h-i-p"...hey guys, you'd be rich now and people wouldn't be laughing behind your back...

Yeah Jake Long would have been a top 15 if not higher pick i was hoping he came out so the Steelers would draft him. Know he has to play 12 more games and hope and pray for no injury.

The Big Ten logo actually shows the number 11 in silhouette.
