Several current Power Five programs have gone more than 30 years without winning a conference championship. Some have gone more than 50 years and for one program, it's been more than a century since their last conference title.
Which Power Five program has the longest conference title drought?
Some help:
It's not Michigan, even though it feels like a century.
It's not a Pac-12 team. In fact, the Pac-12's longest drought is the shortest among all conferences (Arizona, 1993).
It's not Kansas (1968).
But it is a Big 12 team.

Answer
Iowa State — 1912
Iowa State has never won a Big 12 title, nor did they win a Big 8, Big 7 or Big 6 title. The Cyclones won the 1912 Missouri Valley Championship — then known as the MVIAA for Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association. It was their second straight MVIAA title.
