==Stadium Capacities==
Any Wikipedian, please create this section if you have time.
The table on stadium capacities isn't currently properly arranging football stadium capacities from smallest to largest or largest to smallest when requested. Somehow OSU and PSU end up being ranked as larger than Michigan. The rankings work for basketball and baseball.

== Standardize facility sections ==
13:40, 12 June 2006 (UTC)13:40, 12 June 2006 (UTC)


See the discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject College baseball#Standardize conference pages' facility sections]].
I disagree. The only sections written for any sport are under the heading "rivalries," for which I think, only football should be listed. The Big Ten has long been known for its intense football rivalries, but men's basketball has been tepid at best (I'm talking about rivalries, not level of play). I think the men's basketball section should be removed, if anything.
While I agree that women's basketball is an important sport for the conference, the overall repuation of play and fan interest simply doesn't support a section for that moreso than any other sport. The Big Ten is by no means known for its women's basketball, ranking typically between the 6th and 8th best conference in the country. I'd suggest instead a list of the national championships and other national accolades won by memebers of the conference across all sports.

== Western Conference ==


== Wikitable for future schedules ==
Why does [[Western Conference]] redirect to this article? --[[User:All in|All in]] 03:55, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
::''The conference’s official name throughout the time was still the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives and was also known as the Western Conference. It did not formally adopt the name Big Ten until 1987 when it was incorporated as a not-for-profit corporation.'' ... but it needs to be a dab. -- [[User:Jjjsixsix|Jjjsixsix]] <sup>[[User talk:Jjjsixsix|(t)]]</sup>/<sub>[[Special:Contributions/Jjjsixsix|(c)]]</sub> <small>@</small> 03:59, 16 May 2006 (UTC)
:::But there are other Western Conferences. I think "Western Conference" should be a disambig page. For example, in the NHL, NBA, WHL, etc. I'm sure there are many others. --[[User:Thirty-seven|thirty-seven]] 00:10, 18 May 2006 (UTC)--[[User:Thirty-seven|thirty-seven]] 00:09, 18 May 2006 (UTC)
::::Agreed, I noticed this the other day but did not have time to fix. I created the disambig page now. ([[User:Terryn3|Terryn3]] 22:44, 18 May 2006 (UTC))


Here is a template for a wikitable to make it easy to put the future opponents in an organized format. The future non-conference opponent template is almost impossible to edit due to its vertical format. Replace "Big Ten name" with the team name + nickname (without the word football) to put the appropriate team colors in the table).
==Not the Oldest==
The Big Ten is not oldest college athletic conference. That title goes the the Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association, founded in founded March 24, 1888. [http://www.miaa.org/history/ MIAA History]. The Big Ten was founded on January 11, 1895 [http://bigten.cstv.com/trads/big10-trads.html Big Ten History]. --[[User:Colslax|Colslax]] 23:05, 16 July 2006 (UTC)


==Future opponents==
The article states that the Big Ten is the oldest DI athletic conference. The MIAA is not Division I. <small>—The preceding [[Wikipedia:Sign your posts on talk pages|unsigned]] comment was added by [[User:128.101.181.114|128.101.181.114]] ([[User talk:128.101.181.114|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/128.101.181.114|contribs]]) 05:11, 30 November 2006 (UTC).</small><!-- Template:Unsigned -->

==Penn State Enrollment==
Listing Penn State's enrollment as 82K is misleading and not consistent with how the other institutions are listed. This incorporates all the affiliated campuses, evn those with distinct names (Dickenson, Penn Tech, Hershey, etc.) and probably distinct sports teams and conference affiliations. This is not done for any of the other Big-10 schools (many of which would get larger if it were done), and smells of one-upsmanship. The [[List_of_largest_US_universities_by_enrollment]] page doesn't do this either, so there is precedent and consistency to maintain. It is probably correct as well, given this is the Big 10 page: only the University Park campus is affiliated with the Big 10 athletic conference.

The previous editor states.... "probably"...which is not correct as it is defintiely not included in the compilation of Penn State enrollment figures nor athletic conference alignment or membership. As all NCAA FBS schools are listed as members based upon first their affiliation with varsity team sports and football as primary. Thus, as Penn State was established as The Commonwealth University many decades ago, their unique branch campus system is inclusive of their entire university and makes no distinction in degrees granted or administration of academics or policy. There is no "transfering" of credits or students from one campus to the next, rather an "assignment" of the students classroom; (i.e. a class one blcok away is the same as a class 150 miles away). These figures however do not included distance learning or online classroom enrollments but actual physical attendance in the classroom. Thus, The Pennsylvania State University has an annual enrollment that now exceeds 87,000. For a list of specific classroom totals, please see the www.psu.edu.

The previous editor of this information notates the "[[List_of_largest_US_universities_by_enrollment]] page doesn't do this either, so there is precedent and consistency to maintain." This same standard indicates that the University of Arizona State has an total enrollmentn of over 60,000 but which is enmassed over 4 different and distinct campuses. This does not indicate consistancy. Precedence is thus to those figures which are indicative of a singular university entity, not a system, and not an independent campus. Thus Penn State not being a university system, comprised of a single adminstrative and academic entity with non-independent campuses fulfills the previous editors requirement <small><span class="autosigned">—Preceding [[Wikipedia:Signatures|unsigned]] comment added by [[User:Uniservallaw|Uniservallaw]] ([[User talk:Uniservallaw|talk]] • [[Special:Contributions/Uniservallaw|contribs]]) 17:48, 21 November 2008 (UTC)</span></small><!-- Template:Unsigned --> <!--Autosigned by SineBot-->

"At the 1895 meeting, a blueprint for the control and administration of college athletics under the direction of appointed faculty representatives was outlined.

== Research Expenditures ==

Do Big Ten research expenditures really exceed the Ivy League on a per-university or per-capita basis or total basis? This unsourced claim seems somewhat... questionable. Cornell, Columbia, Harvard, Penn and Yale all spend in the 500-600 million dollar range while even the little ivies like Princeton and Dartmouth spend over 200 million each. UW-Madison certainly pulls its' own weight at 800 million, but using system wide numbers for Michigan, OSU and PSU seems pretty shady.
