This is why the teacher made you show your work. Please reread your own word problem and identify where you have made your mistake. Here is your exact quote
"The following exercise would be beneficial to go through for all B1G West fan bases before they decide to come over here and tug on Superman’s cape:
List your teams accomplishments during your lifetime. If that list doesn’t include more than 5 conference titles and a National Championship or two, then just keep your opinions to yourself, they aren’t wanted and they lack substance.
I’m not that old and I’ve been alive for all of Nebraska’s NCs and have seen my team win more conference titles and big games than should be fair."
Your answer:
"Since I couldn’t get any takers from the Minnesota and Iowa trolls, I went ahead and checked it out for myself. I didn’t even consider NCs as there’s no need to rub more salt in the wound, so I only looked at Conference titles.
If you’re 27 or older you’ve been alive for 5 outright Conference titles for Nebraska.
If you’re 99 or older you’ve been alive for 5 outright Conference titles for Iowa, however, if you count ties then you’d only be 40 or older. (The big ten was very late to the title game party, in 1990 there were 4 claims to the big ten title....lame)
Sorry Minnesota trolls, your team won many big ten titles, but most were “shared”, so counting only shared titles, you’d be 82 or older to have been alive for 5 Conference titles for Minnesota.
"
I'll give you a hint: no where in your self imposed word problem have you used the word "football".
