Baylor Bears Tickets

The Baylor Bears came into existence as early as the university itself, which was formed back in the year 1845. It is, at present, the only team which operates under a private educational institute in the Big Twelve Conference. The Baylor Bears were part of the Southwest Conference and had been so since the year 1914. They ended up joining the Big Twelve Conference upon its establishment in the year 1996 when the Southwest Conference was rescinded in the same year. The students who are enrolled in the sports program in the university compete under the Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Over the course of its time in the Big Twelve Conference, the varsity went on to win their first ever NCAA title in the year 2004. The title came when the Baylor Bears men’s tennis team came out on top against the challenge put up by the University of California, Los Angeles in the championship game. They also ended up in the runner up position in the following year by a very narrow margin and it was also against last year’s finalists UCLA, the team the Baylor Bears defeated on the previous occasion. The Baylor Bears’ only other NCAA Division I Championship came in the year 2005, a year after their first ever championship, and was won by the Women’s Basketball Team. They defeated the Spartans of the Michigan State University in the final game of the championships by a total score of eighty-four against sixty-two. The team also has one of the most recognizable mascots in the NCAA. Both these mascots are black bears and each one belongs to the different gender. The male mascot goes by the name Joy whereas the female mascot goes by the name Lady.
