The Big Eight Conference sponsored championships in 21 sports (11 men's and 10 women's) at various times during its existence from 1907 to 1996.[1] The conference began sponsoring women's sports in the mid-1970s under the direction of Assistant Commissioner Steven J. Hatchell.
Due to its common history with the Missouri Valley Conference, Big Eight championships from 1907–1908 through 1927–1928 are also claimed by the MVC.

Holiday tournament champions
From 1946 to 1978, the Big Eight hosted a mid-season tournament in which all of the league teams participated. During the early years, when the conference was composed of only 6 or 7 teams, additional schools outside the conference were invited to create an 8-team field. Among teams invited from outside the conference, only SMU in 1946 ever won the tournament.

Men's gymnastics
This is a list of Men's Gymnastics championships.[1] Men's gymnastics became an official league sport in 1964. The Big Eight Conference did not sanction a league championship after the 1994 season because Iowa State dropped men's gymnastics and as a result that left the league with only two schools sponsoring the sport.[4]
