The Big Leagues: 24 and Counting!
That's right, folks. Boston University boasts a whopping 24 NCAA Division I varsity sports. We're talking about the top tier of collegiate athletics, where competition is fierce and the Terriers are ready to rumble (or spike, or swim, depending on the sport). From the gridiron to the hardwood, BU has a team for every thrill-seeking student-athlete.
QuickTip: Break down long paragraphs into main ideas.
A League of Their Own (Literally)
Now, these 24 teams aren't all hanging out in the same locker room. BU competes in a few different conferences, each with its own flavor. The Patriot League is our home base for 20 of our sports, offering a great balance of academics and athletics. But fear not, hockey fans! Our legendary men's and women's ice hockey teams take the ice in Hockey East, while the rowing teams make waves in the Eastern College Athletic Conference.
Tip: Don’t skip the small notes — they often matter.
Terrier Trivia: Did You Know?
- BU's Men's Ice Hockey team is a five-time national champion, sending more players to the NHL than any other university. Now that's something to write home about (or brag to your friends about)!
- Our Women's Soccer team is on a roll, claiming three out of the last five Patriot League titles. Go Terriers!
