## Conference and program changes

[edit]

* The Intercollegiate Conference of Faculty Representatives, commonly known as the Western Conference and the precursor to the modern Big Ten Conference, added two new members, Indiana and Iowa, to increase its membership to nine. It was after this expansion that the conference first gained the unofficial moniker Big Nine Conference.

School | 1899 Conference | 1900 Conference
