MikeD237 Posted August 26, 2005 Share Posted August 26, 2005 I still don't understand why the Big 10 is the Big 10 when they got 11 teams? The conference deliberately did not change its name when it added Penn State because it hoped to add Notre Dame very soon thereafter, and didn't see any reason to change to Big 11 when something else was only a couple years away (theoretically). Notre Dame never joined, and by then, the discomfort of having 11 teams but being called the Big 10 didn't bother them anymore. Plus, the way the Big Ten incorporates the "11" in their logo is kinda cool... and clever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
