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.
