Ball State is all about teamwork. But when we’re not tearing it up in the classroom, we’re showing off our skills on the big stage—
NCAA Division I sports. From
Lewellen Pool to
Ball Baseball Diamond and
Scheumann Stadium, our teams compete in first-class facilities. Cheering them on, we’re proud to have the number one student section in the Mid-American Conference (MAC).
“The Nest” regularly sees crowds up to 2,000 students strong in
Worthen Arena. But our athletes flex more than their muscles—they also flex their brains. All 19 of our
athletic teams are above the national average when it comes to academics. Our overall student-athlete graduation rate ranks 11th nationally. To keep our athletes fueled academically and athletically, our
Cardinal Varsity Club and its more than 3,000 members provide scholarships and academic support for hundreds of student-athletes.
