Athletics
Committed to The Butler Way
Butler Athletics has a long and proud history that is central to the University’s identity. At Butler, our student-athletes and coaches are committed to winning The Butler Way. This means playing by the rules, putting the team above self, competing with integrity, and seeking improvement every day. With over 500 Butler student-athletes, Athletics is at the heart of our campus life. Approximately 10% of our student body are directly involved in Athletics, either competing on one of our 20 NCAA Division I teams or participating on our dance or cheer teams.
Our mission to provide an exceptional educational and athletic experience for all our student-athletes requires providing the facilities, training, and support our student-athletes need to succeed in the classroom, on the field of competition, and in life. To do this, we are focused on:
- recruiting and retaining the best coaches and staff;
- growing the total operating budget; and
- building and maintaining the facilities needed for championship-level practice and preparation.
