Ordered by conference winning percentage, then conference wins. Division splits and tiebreakers aren’t applied. AP: the AP poll, final (else the final AP rank). Elo is our own rating, a measure of strength, not a prediction.

The bar is the share of those games won. Games against teams from lower divisions count together.

Conference titles as each program’s Wikipedia infobox lists them (CC BY-SA), shared titles counted for every co-champion; the conference’s earlier names count as the same conference.

Football membership as CollegeFootballData.com records it under this conference’s name, from 1953; a school’s separate stays are listed apart.

Counted only in seasons a school was a member on file (from 1953); a draft pick counts for the season before the draft. Heisman and All-America lists from Wikipedia (CC BY-SA), draft picks from CollegeFootballData.com.

The Big Ten Conference is a nonprofit. Its IRS Form 990 for the year to June 2025 reports $1.47 billion in revenue, $1.35 billion of it from sports revenue, and $1.45 billion in expenses; it ended the year with $280.7 million in assets. Its best-paid, former commissioner James E Delany, was paid $5.8 million.

Grants it lists, 2024-25

From the organization’s IRS Form 990, via ProPublica Nonprofit Explorer and the IRS’s e-file data. Fiscal years end in June; top pay is the best-paid person’s total compensation on the return, listed for e-filed years (2018 on). Grants are the ones the conference lists on Schedule I; bowl payments are the ones bowls list on theirs. See every filing at ProPublica (EIN 36-3640583).
