From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Big Ten Conference has been playing baseball since 1896. From 1896 to 1980 the conference champion was determined by the team or teams with the best record. In the 1981 the conference began a tournament to name its champion. The conference also split the 10 schools into two divisions:East and West. In 1988 the conference went back to a single division but still used the tournament to determine its champion. In 1993 the conference returned to using the regular season to name it champion while the team that wins the tournament receives the automatic bid to the NCAA's College World Series.
