Book: ''Trophies & Tradition: The History of the Big Ten Conference'' by Christopher Clouser

The Big Ten Conference is the oldest, most important, and most influential intercollegiate athletic conference in the country. This was made clear over the last few years by the reaction of the intercollegiate athletic world when one small sentence was uttered by Big Ten Commissioner Jim Delany in December 2009, ''The Big Ten is exploring expansion possibilities.'' This ''expansion'' set into place a cycle of event that are still unfolding to this day around conference re-alignment and has created a buzz about a new college football championship, of which the Big Ten will have a prominent hand in determining the ultimate format. The strength and importance of the conference is difficult to understand unless set against its fabulous history. This book tells that story and goes into more depth than previously presented about results on the field and events off the field for nearly 120 years of history.
