UNL joins the Big Ten


Now it’s official. The University of Nebraska–Lincoln is a member of the Big Ten Conference.

The Big Ten represents much more than a new group of teams with which we will compete; this new relationship, which includes our membership in the Committee on Institutional Cooperation (CIC), is an enormous leap forward for UNL academics. The Big Ten is a historically prestigious and stable academic community of scholars and students, highly regarded in academic circles.

– Chancellor Harvey Perlman
