USKERS
CONFERENCE
DOMINANCE
Nebraska opened a new chapter in its storied history in 2012,
when the Huskers finished third in their first year as a member
of the Big Ten Conference (NU finished second in 2013). All 12
Big Ten schools play softball, making the Big Ten the third-largest
softball conference in the country. The Big Ten is also the only one
of the seven major conferences (American Athletic, ACC, Big 12,
Big East, Big Ten, Pac-12, SEC) where every school fields a softball
team. Despite the league's success and commitment to the sport,
Nebraska's history stacks up well against its peers, as the charts
below indicate. Previously, the Huskers were members of the
Big Eight Conference (1977-1995) and the Big 12 Conference
(1996-2011). Nebraska has won 18 total conference titles in the
36 seasons it has been affiliated with a conference.
