The Big Ten Medal of Honor is awarded to one male and one female student-athlete from the graduating class of each member institution who has demonstrated excellence on and off the field throughout their collegiate career. This year’s class comprised student-athletes from 17 sports. Big Ten schools currently feature more than 9,800 student-athletes, but only 28 earn the award on an annual basis. Since the Big Ten Medal of Honor was first presented more than a century ago, just over 1,650 student-athletes have earned this unique distinction. Those names are on display at the Big Ten Office in Rosemont.

Photo by Mac Johnson OMAHA, Neb. — Fueled by a sea of red in the stands, Nebraska edged Penn State, 2-1, in the championship game of the 2024 Big Ten Baseball Tournament Presented by IFS.ai. &nbsp;Sunday’s final drew 13,300 fans to Charles Schwab Field Omaha. The second-seeded Cornhuskers (39-30), who became the first team since 1995 to lose their first game and rally to capture the championship, won five games over five days to secure their first Big Ten Tournament. Nebraska also receives the conference’s automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament. The NCAA Selection Show will air at Noon ET Monday on ESPN2. A pitchers’ duel produced the lowest scoring Big Ten Championship in 34 years as Penn State’s Travis Luensmann and Nebraska’s Jackson Brockett allowed only four hits and one run each over seven- and eight innings respectively. Gabe Swansen stroked an RBI double in the top ninth to drive in the winning run. Earlier in the game, Nebraska catcher Josh Caron hit his record-setting sixth home run of the tournament to earn the Most Outstanding Player Award. Big Ten Pitcher of the Year Brett Sears entered in the ninth to nail down the win. The eighth-seeded Nittany Lions (29-24), under first-year head coach Mike Gambino, made their first appearance in the final and placed four players on the all-tournament team.
