- ACC–Big_Ten_Challenge abstract "The ACC–Big Ten Challenge (or Big Ten–ACC Challenge as it is called in alternating years) is an in-season NCAA men's college basketball series established in 1999 that matches up teams from the Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) and the Big Ten Conference. ESPN was a key part of the creation of the challenge, and holds the broadcast rights to all the games. The ACC leads the series 10-3-2; the ACC won the first 10 consecutive challenges, while the Big Ten won the next three. The two most recent challenges resulted in ties, and seven of the challenges have been decided by a single game.The Big Ten–ACC Challenge occurs early in the season, typically around late November/early December. Each game is hosted by one of the participating schools, with teams typically alternating home and away status in each successive year. Nine games were played for each of the first 6 challenges, leaving two teams from the 11-team Big Ten Conference without an opponent. With the expansion of the ACC to 12 teams with the addition of Boston College, Miami and Virginia Tech, the field was expanded to 11 games in 2006, meaning that one ACC team would not play. With Nebraska joining the Big Ten in 2011, the challenge expanded to 12 games and every member from both conferences participated. In 2013, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, and Notre Dame joined the ACC, leaving three ACC teams excluded from the competition. In 2014, Maryland will leave the ACC and join the Big Ten along with Rutgers, giving that conference 14 teams, and Louisville will join the ACC, replacing Maryland and maintaining the conference's 15-team membership. The conference realignments have led to the challenge being expanded to 14 games. Imbalances in the number of teams in the conferences are resolved by dropping the larger conference's lowest finisher(s) in the prior season from the challenge pool.[citation needed]When the challenge was expanded to 12 games, the change resulted in the possibility that the challenge could end in a tie. In the event of a tie, the previous year's winner retains the Commissioner's Cup. This scenario occurred in 2012 and 2013, with the Big Ten retaining the Cup based on its 8-4 win in 2011.Despite the ACC's advantage in the series, both conferences have had significant success on the national stage. As of 2013, since the inception of the Challenge in 1999 a total of 13 Big Ten teams and 11 ACC teams have gone on to play in the Final Four, with 2000 national champion Michigan State, 2001 and 2010 national champion Duke, 2002 national champion Maryland, and 2005 and 2009 national champion North Carolina among them.In the year 2007, the ACC–Big Ten Women's Challenge was founded.The popularity of this series has led other conferences to form similar partnerships in which their members go head-to-head against each other. Examples are the Big 12/SEC Challenge and the now-defunct Mountain West–Missouri Valley Challenge, SEC–Big East Challenge and Big 12/Pac-10 Hardwood Series.".
