3 BIG TEN HOCKEY WEEKLY RELEASE 3 Big Life. Big Stage. Big Ten. Since its inception in 1896, the pursuit and attainment of academic excellence has been a priority for every Big Ten member institution. But maintaining the conference s standard of competing at the highest level in athletics also endures as an important component of the Big Ten experience. Striking that balance between academics and athletics is integral to the Big Ten s identity. Recognized as one of intercollegiate sports most successful undertakings, the Big Ten strives for success from its students not only on the field and in the classroom, but around the world as well. PREMIER ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONS The Big Ten Academic Alliance is an academic consortium of all 14 Big Ten universities, which is widely considered to be the model for effective and voluntary collaboration among top research universities. Every Big Ten Academic Alliance institution ranks among the top 78 universities in the nation according to the 2014 Academic Ranking of World Universities, including six in the top 25. The Big Ten leads all conferences with more than 1,700 Academic All- Americans, including 47 honorees during the academic year. Big Ten Academic Alliance schools annually conduct $10 billion in funded research, $5 billion more than any other conference. A HISTORY OF ATHLETIC SUCCESS Big Ten schools have won at least seven national championships in seven of the last nine academic years and at least five in each of the last 20 years. In the last four full academic years, current Big Ten institutions have claimed 28 team national championships in 15 different sports. Over the last 11 full academic years, current Big Ten institutions have won 82 team national titles in 23 different sports. BROAD-BASED PROGRAMMING The Big Ten will administer over $200 million in direct financial support to more than 9,500 students competing in intercollegiate athletics for more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams in 42 different sports. The Big Ten sponsors 28 official conference sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of men s ice hockey and men s and women s lacrosse the last three years. The Big Ten leads the nation in total students competing in intercollegiate athletics and participation opportunities, and sponsors more official sports than all conferences except the Ivy League. Almost 1,400 Big Ten competitors have participated in the Olympics, winning more than 600 medals, including nearly 300 gold. In the 2016 Olympic Games, 159 representatives from Big Ten institutions including current or former students and coaches were members to Olympic teams. Big Ten Olympians collected 47 medals in Rio. PASSIONATE FOLLOWING The Big Ten leads all conferences with 5.7 million alumni and nearly 580,000 students. Each year more than 11 million patrons attend Big Ten home contests, as the conference leads the nation in attendance for men s basketball, hockey, volleyball and wrestling. LEADERS IN INNOVATION Took part in the nation s first bowl game, winning the 1902 Rose Bowl Game, and signed an exclusive contract with the Tournament of Roses in 1946, making it the first bowl with permanent conference affiliations. Awarded the first Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1915, honoring outstanding seniors who demonstrated excellence in academics and athletics.
