  Big Blue History
When Millikin University opened its doors in 1903, the athletic programs were right on its heels with football, men’s basketball and baseball all competing in the University’s first full academic year (1903-04).
The Millikin Athletic programs got an early start, and so did the nickname “Big Blue.” According to historical records, the “Big Blue” is generally attributed to Carl Head, a professor of mechanical engineering who used the name on posters during the 1916 football season.
Millikin joined the College Conference of Illinois (CCI) on April 26, 1946 as one of its nine charter members (Augustana, Carthage, Elmhurst, Illinois College, Illinois Wesleyan, Lake Forest, Millikin, North Central and Wheaton).
