Indiana University, Bloomington, known as Indiana for all NCAA purposes, is located in Bloomington, Indiana. Its mascot is the Hoosier. From its humble beginnings with baseball in 1867, the Hoosier athletic program has grown to include over 600 male and female student-athletes on 24 varsity teams boasting one of the nation's best overall records. Sports sponsored by the university include football, men's basketball, women's basketball, cross country, track, baseball, golf, tennis, Sport rowing, volleyball, and more.

The Hoosiers became a member of the prestigious Big Ten on December 1, 1899. The school's national affiliation is with the NCAA. National team titles (now totaling 25; 24 NCAA, 1 AIAW) have been won in six men's sports and one women's sport, topped by a record-setting six straight men's swimming & diving titles, seven men's soccer crowns and five titles in men's basketball. Indiana student-athletes have won 133 NCAA individual titles. Most recently, Sports Illustrated on Campus rated Bloomington the No. 6 sports town in the nation.

Over the last decade more than 90 percent of Indiana University student-athletes who have exhausted their eligibility have earned their degree. Indiana University student-athletes have been named to the Academic All-Big Ten squad 2,280 times. Overall, IU student athletes have won more than 3,000 academic awards. Additionally, the Indiana men’s basketball team is ranked 23rd in the Student-Athlete Performance Rate, a new national academic study developed to determine top schools on the field and in the classroom, it was announced in August of 2005.

[edit] Administration

The IU Director of Athletics is Rick Greenspan. The IU athletics endowment is $42 million, the largest in the Big Ten. The Varsity Club, which is the fund-raising arm of the Athletics Department, drew a record $11.5 million in gifts and pledges in fiscal 2004-05. In addition, overall annual giving has increased 8.3% in the last year and 44.8 percent in the last three years.

In spite of this giving, IU's athletics department has been unable to balance its budget. Because of this the university administration has attempted, thus far unsuccessfully, to double the athletics fee which students pay with their tuition each semester. A number of students argue that the athletics department's financial woes are its own problems, and that support of athletics should be voluntary. Others, especially in the athletics department, argue that athletic programs are an integral part of the university experience, and therefore everyone should pay into it.

Indiana recently announced plans to improve the athletic facilities IU Trustees Approve Facility Master Plan
