Cardinals fans:   Did you know that the Cardinal bird is a symbol of positivity? I cannot think of a more fitting description of Ball State Athletics as we look forward to the new year ahead.   With that sense of optimism, "new" is the operative word. The fresh start across the University begins this Sunday on the athletic fields and Monday in Ball State classrooms. The "new" also resonates throughout Ball State Athletics - reflected and amplified in the form of new coaches, a host of new student-athletes, a new look that welcomes fans to multiple venues and a new era of Ball State sports in a new intercollegiate landscape.]]>Jeff Mitchell Introductory Press ConferenceWed, 13 Aug 2025 12:00:00 EST124966https://ballstatesports.com/news/2025/7/8/GENERAL_ClubhouseProjecthttps://ballstatesports.com/news/2025/7/8/GENERAL_ClubhouseProjectGeneral

Cardinals Fans,  As I pen this end-of-the-school-year note to our alumni, friends and fans, we have a single student-athlete that is competing next week in the NCAA Outdoor Track & Field Championships. We are thrilled to cheer for Kenli Nettles who represents Ball State in the heptathlon championship field in Eugene, Oregon, marking the third straight year the Cardinals have placed a student-athlete in the finals. Our past year has produced success on and off the field of play, and we are literally building toward a better and brighter future as we continue construction on the Eric Foss Championship Performance Center and complete re-surfacing projects at four different venues this summer – baseball, basketball, football and softball.]]>Jeff MitchellMon, 2 Jun 2025 13:00:00 EST124899https://ballstatesports.com/news/2025/6/2/baseball-womens-basketballs-ncaa-tournament-berth-highlights-successful-2024-25-cardinals-sports-yearhttps://ballstatesports.com/news/2025/6/2/baseball-womens-basketballs-ncaa-tournament-berth-highlights-successful-2024-25-cardinals-sports-yearBaseball, Field Hockey, Football, General, Men's Basketball, Men's Golf, Men's Swimming and Diving, Men's Tennis, Men's Volleyball, Softball, Women's Basketball, Women's Golf, Women's Swimming and Diving, Women's Tennis, Women's Volleyball, Cross Country, Gymnastics, Soccer, Track & Field, Cardinal Varsity Club
