The first game of the Big Ten Conference was October 17, 1896 when the league was known as the Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives. Minnesota defeated Purdue 14-0 at Minneapolis. In 2014, the Big Ten Conference expanded to 14 teams and rearranged their Leaders and Legends Divisions and renamed them East and West. The first game under this arrangement was Penn State at Rutgers on September 13, 2014. The game had been independently arranged, according to the April 17, 2009 New York Times, years before Rutgers joined the conference.
