About Big Ten Football Championship Game in brief
The Big Ten Football Championship Game is a college football game that is held by the Big Ten Conference each year since 2011 to determine the conference’s season champion.

The winner of this game will also receive the Stagg Championship Trophy, and the most valuable player will receive the Grange-Griffin Championship Game Most Valuable Player Trophy. The conference currently has a deal making Lucas Oil Stadium in Indianapolis the site of the championship game through 2021. Wisconsin and Ohio State have the most appearances in the game with six, while Ohio State has the most wins with five. The Big Ten expanded to 11 schools by adding Penn State in 1990, but this did not yet meet the NCAA’s requirements for holding a conference championship game.
After the addition of Nebraska in 2010, there was much debate over what would be the best division for each of the 12 schools. On December 13, 2010, Commissioner Delany announced that the two divisions would be called Legends and Leaders. On September 1, 2011, they announced that they would be renamed Legends and leaders. In November 2012, the conference announced that Maryland and Rutgers would join the conference in 2014, bringing conference membership up to 14 schools. The two participating teams are the first place teams from the conference’s two divisions, which are the West and East divisions. In 2020, the winner of the game will earn an automatic berth in the Rose Bowl Game, unless the team is selected to play in the four-team College Football Playoff andor the Rosebowl is one of the playoff semi-finals.
