It was the Big 10 for many years until Penn State was added. Look at the Big Ten logo-- it has an eleven secretly hidden in it.

There's been rumblings to change the name of the conference for years but it has slowed a bit.

There were 10 teams before Penn State joined (I think). They just never changed it. I like it.
