• Iowa received the Disney Sports Spirit Award, given to the nation’s most inspirational player, team or figure in college football. The Hawkeyes were honored for their unique tradition at the end of the first quarter of each home game, where fans, players and officials alike stop and wave to the patients at the Iowa Stead Family Children’s Hospital, which over-looks Kinnick Stadium.

• Northwestern was one of seven schools to receive the American Foot-ball Coaches Association (AFCA) Academic Achievement Award, which was given to the programs with the highest NCAA Graduation Suc-cess Rate among freshman football students in the Class of 2010. The Wildcats had a perfect 100 GSR rating and earned the AFCA Academic Achievement Award for the 10th time since the honor was first presented in 1981.

• Sixteen conference standouts were named All-Americans, including 10 that earned first-team distinction from at least one organization. In addi-tion, six Big Ten players were named consensus All-Americans, including

four unanimous first-team honorees. Iowa’s Josh Jackson and Josey Jew-ell, Ohio State’s Billy Price, and Penn State’s Saquon Barkley were each unanimous first-team All-Americans, while Michigan’s Maurice Hurst and Ohio State’s Denzel Ward earned consensus All-America status. A list of Big Ten All-Americans can be found on Page 6.

Iowa’s Parker Hesse and Ohio State’s Jordan Fuller both earned Academic All-America second-team accolades.

• The Big Ten posted the fourth-highest single-season attendance total in conference history with 6,225,648 fans attending home games. This marks the fifth consecutive season and sixth time in seven years that more than six million fans have attended Big Ten home football games.

• Nebraska announced Dec. 2 that former Husker quarterback and cur-rent UCF head coach Scott Frost will return to his alma mater as head coach following the completion of the 2017 season. Frost, who was named the 2017 Associated Press National Coach of the Year, is 18-7 in two seasons at UCF, leading the Knights to a 12-0 record this year, along with the American Athletic Conference championship and a No. 12 rank-ing in the final College Football Playoff poll.

BIG LIFE. BIG STAGE. BIG TEN.The Big Ten became the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female

participation goals after launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992.

Wisconsin’s Troy Vincent was named this year’s recipient of the Big Ten’s Ford-Kinnick Leadership Award, while Iowa’s Chad Greenway was chosen to receive the Dungy-Thompson Humanitarian Award, the conference announced Nov. 22. These awards recognize Big Ten football student-athletes who have achieved success in the areas of leadership and humanitarianism following their academic and athletic careers at a Big Ten university.

Vincent was a four-year letterwinner as a defensive back at Wisconsin from 1988-91, earning first-team All-America honors and sharing the Big Ten Defensive Player of the Year award in 1991 while also claiming All-Big Ten accolades twice. Vincent went on to enjoy a successful career in the National Football League (NFL), playing 15 seasons for five clubs, including the Miami Dolphins, who chose him with the No. 7 overall pick in the first round of the 1992 NFL Draft. He was a five-time Pro Bowl se-lection and a three-time All-Pro honoree, and has been nominated for the Pro Football Hall of Fame each of the past five years. Off the field, Vincent played a significant leadership role with the NFL Players Association (NFLPA) as the group’s president from 2004-08. He also became a national advocate for victims of domestic violence and sexual abuse, resulting in his selection as the Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year (chosen by the NFL commissioner and a select panel of judges) and the NFLPA Byron “Whizzer” White NFL Man of the Year following the 2002 season. In addition, Vincent and his family have been closely involved in numerous charitable organizations. They have also founded Love Thy Neighbor, a Foundation dedicated to fostering positive change in young people’s lives through character, athletics and academics. Since his retirement, Vincent has remained active with the NFL, currently serving as the league’s Executive Vice President of Football Operations. Vincent also remains connected to the NFL’s Business Management and Entrepreneurial Program, which he helped form late in his playing career.

Greenway earned four letters as a linebacker at Iowa from 2002-05, earning All-America and first-team All-Big Ten honors in 2004 and 2005, as well as second-team all-conference plaudits in 2003. He was also instrumental in helping the Hawkeyes earn a share of Big Ten Championships in 2002 and 2004 and receive invitations to four bowl games, winning the 2004 Outback and 2005 Capital One Bowls. After graduating from Iowa in 2006 with a degree in communications studies, Greenway spent 11 seasons in the NFL, all with the Minnesota Vikings, who selected him in the first round of the 2006 NFL Draft. He was a two-time Pro Bowl choice and a second-team All-Pro honoree in 2012, while also leading the National Football Conference (NFC) in combined tackles in 2010. Greenway has been a fixture in the Minneapolis-St. Paul community throughout his professional career, a dedication that earned him the NFLPA’s Byron “Whizzer” White NFL Man of the Year Award in 2015 and a nomination for that season’s Walter Payton NFL Man of the Year Award.

Wisconsin’s Troy Vincent and Iowa’s Chad Greenway Honored withBig Ten Ford-Kinnick Leadership and Dungy-Thompson Humanitarian Awards

The Big Ten announced the 2017 All-Big Ten teams and individual award winners on Nov. 28-30.

Wisconsin's Paul Chryst was named the Hayes-Schembechler Coach of the Year, as voted on by coaches, and the Dave McClain Coach of the Year, as chosen by a select media panel. Chryst guided the Badgers to a 12-1 record overall and 9-0 mark in conference play. Wisconsin won the Big Ten West Division to earn a Big Ten Championship Game berth. Chryst was the first Wisconsin mentor to earn Hayes-Schembechler Coach of the Year honors when he received the award in 2016, while he is the first Badger coach since Bret Bielema in 2006 to earn Dave McClain Coach of the Year plaudits.

Penn State’s Saquon Barkley repeated as the recipient of both the Graham-George Offensive Player and Ameche-Dayne Running Back of the Year awards. He is one of four Nittany Lions to claim Offensive Player of the Year plaudits, and the third Big Ten student to earn the honor twice (first since Ohio State’s Braxton Miller in 2012 and 2013). In addition, Barkley is the first Penn State player to earn the Running Back of the Year honor, which was introduced in 2011, and the second conference student to receive the award twice after Wisconsin’s Montee Ball in 2011 and 2012. In addition, Barkley is the first Penn State recipient of the Rodgers-Dwight Return Specialist of the Year award, which debuted in 2015.

For the third time, Ohio State’s J.T. Barrett was chosen as the Griese-Brees Quarterback of the Year, having also claimed the award in 2014 and 2016. A Buckeye signal caller has claimed Quarterback of the Year honors in five of the past seven years after Braxton Miller also won the award in 2012 and 2013. Maryland’s DJ Moore earned Richter-Howard Receiver of the Year honors, becoming the first Terrapin to win the award.

Wisconsin’s Troy Fumagalli claimed the Kwalick-Clark Tight End of the Year honor, the first Badger to receive the award since Jacob Pedersen in 2012. Ohio State’s Billy Price was named the Rimington-Pace Offensive Lineman of the Year, becoming the sixth Buckeye, and third straight, to claim the honor. Ohio State’s Taylor Decker earned the nod in 2015 and Pat Elflein was chosen last season.

Iowa’s Josey Jewell earned Nagurski-Woodson Defensive Player of the Year honors and Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year plaudits. Jewell became the second Hawkeye to claim Defensive Player of the Year honors and the first since Leroy Smith in 1991, as the first Iowa student to receive the Butkus-Fitzgerald Linebacker of the Year award. Jewell also became the third conference player, and second in as many years, to collect both Defensive Player and Linebacker of the Year honors, joining Wisconsin’s Chris Borland in 2013 and Michigan’s Jabrill Peppers in 2016.

Wisconsin’s Jonathan Taylor was named the Thompson-Randle El Freshman of the Year, becoming the eighth Buckeye to earn the honor, and the first since James White in 2010. Iowa’s Josh Jackson earned Tatum-Woodson Defensive Back of the Year honors, becoming the third Hawkeye to claim the award since its inception in 2011 and sec-ond in three years after Desmond King in 2015. Ohio State’s Nick Bosa secured the Buckeyes' fourth straight Smith-Brown Defensive Lineman of the Year nod after his older brother, Joey, won the award in both 2014 and 2015, and Tyquan Lewis earned the honor last year.

Indiana’s Griffin Oakes earned Bakken-Andersen Kicker of the Year accolades for the second time in three years, having first received the award in 2015. Rutgers’ Ryan An-derson became the first Scarlet Knight to earn a Big Ten individual award when he claimed Eddleman-Fields Punter of the Year plaudits.

The offensive All-Big Ten teams were highlighted by a pair of repeat selections to the first team in Ohio State’s Barrett and Penn State’s Barkley. Ohio State, Penn State and Wisconsin earned multiple selections to the offensive All-Big Ten first teams.

The defensive All-Big Ten teams were highlighted by one repeat first-team selection in Ohio State’s Tyquan Lewis. Iowa, Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin earned multiple selections to the defensive All-Big Ten first teams. The special teams All-Big Ten first-team recipients included Indiana’s Oakes at kicker, Rutgers’ Anderson at punter and Penn State’s Barkley as the return specialist.

Big Life. Big Stage. Big Ten.Since its inception in 1896, the pursuit and attainment of academic excellence has been a priority for every Big Ten member institution. But maintaining the conference’s standard of competing at the highest level in athletics also endures as an important component of the Big Ten experience. Striking that balance between academics and athletics is integral to the Big Ten’s identity. Recognized as one of intercollegiate sports’ most successful undertakings, the Big Ten strives for success from its students not only on the field and in the classroom, but around the world as well.

PREMIER ACADEMIC INSTITUTIONSThe Big Ten Academic Alliance is an academic consortium of all 14 Big Ten universities, which is widely considered to be the model for effective and voluntary collaboration among top research universities.

Every Big Ten Academic Alliance institution ranks among the top 78 universities in the nation according to the 2014 Academic Ranking of World Universities, including six in the top 25.

The Big Ten leads all conferences with more than 1,700 Academic All-Americans, including 47 honorees during the 2016-17 academic year.

Big Ten Academic Alliance schools annually conduct $10 billion in funded research, $5 billion more than any other conference.

A HISTORY OF ATHLETIC SUCCESSBig Ten schools have won at least seven national championships in seven of the last nine academic years and at least five in each of the last 20 years.

In the last four full academic years, current Big Ten institutions have claimed 28 team national championships in 15 different sports.

Over the last 11 full academic years, current Big Ten institutions have won 82 team national titles in 23 different sports.

BROAD-BASED PROGRAMMINGThe Big Ten will administer over $200 million in direct financial support to more than 9,500 students competing in intercollegiate athletics for more than 11,000 participation opportunities on 350 teams in 42 different sports.

The Big Ten sponsors 28 official conference sports, 14 for men and 14 for women, including the addition of men’s ice hockey and men’s and women’s lacrosse the last three years.

The Big Ten leads the nation in total students competing in intercollegiate athletics and participation opportunities, and sponsors more official sports than all conferences except the Ivy League.

Almost 1,400 Big Ten competitors have participated in the Olympics, winning more than 600 medals, including nearly 300 gold. In the 2016 Olympic Games, 159 representatives from Big Ten institutions including current or former students and coaches were members to Olympic teams. Big Ten Olympians collected 47 medals in Rio.

PASSIONATE FOLLOWINGThe Big Ten leads all conferences with 5.7 million alumni and nearly 580,000 students.

Each year more than 11 million patrons attend Big Ten home contests, as the conference leads the nation in attendance for men’s basketball, hockey, volleyball and wrestling.

LEADERS IN INNOVATIONTook part in the nation’s first bowl game, winning the 1902 Rose Bowl Game, and signed an exclusive contract with the Tournament of Roses in 1946, making it the first bowl with permanent conference affiliations.

Awarded the first Big Ten Medal of Honor in 1915, honoring outstanding seniors who demonstrated excellence in academics and athletics.

Formed the Big Ten Advisory Commission in 1972, enlisting former students that competed in conference athletics to serve as liaisons to the NCAA’s Diversity and Inclusion Department, the Big Ten Student-Athlete Advisory Commission and other organizations.

Became the first conference to voluntarily adopt male and female participation goals after launching its Gender Equity Action Plan in 1992.

Implemented the first collegiate football system of instant replay in 2004, which the NCAA approved for use among all conferences in 2006.

Launched the Big Ten Network (BTN) in 2007, the first national conference-owned television network.

Began partnering with the Ivy League to study the effects of head injuries in sports in 2012.

Accepted Johns Hopkins University as the conference’s first sport affiliate members in men’s and women’s lacrosse in 2013 and 2015, respectively.

EXTENSIVE TELEVISION EXPOSUREThrough the Big Ten’s current media agreements with BTN, ABC/ESPN, CBS and FOX, nearly 1,400 Big Ten events are produced and distributed nationally and globally on an annual basis.

BTN is in more than 60 million homes across the United States and Canada. BTN2Go is BTN’s digital extension, delivering live and on-demand programming to computers, smartphones and tablets. BTN Plus within BTN2Go streams hundreds of additional events each season.

COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENTFor more than 25 years, through the Big Ten’s SCORE (Success Comes Out of Reading Everyday) program, the conference has partnered with Chicago elementary schools to improve reading performance.

Surrounding the Big Ten Football Championship Game and Basketball Tournaments, the conference has held numerous community initiatives, such as the Big Ten Career Expo, SaturDAY of Service and Youth Football Clinics. In addition, the Big Ten has hosted a downtown 5K, collaborated with a local breast cancer awareness group and provided unique event experiences for military veterans.
