In each of the past three NBA Drafts, the Baylor Bears have
had at least one selection in the top-16.

NO other school has done that and tonight, a trio of future NBA stars
are hoping to make it four straight for the Green & Gold.

This year is the first that the NBA will enjoy two days as the first round
is set for tonight at 9 pm CST and tomorrow’s second round
will begin around 5 pm CST.

🔼 Head Of Their Class. Sure, this past year was full of success on the field, track, court and every other competition surface.

But that success wasn’t limited to wins and losses as the Bears dominated the classroom as well.

This week, plenty of BU student-athletes were recognized for their academic success.

🏈 COUNTDOWN TO KICKOFF: 66 DAYS

Number of the Day: 66.

The date: August 31, 2013.
The opponent: Wofford.

That day was just a preview of what was to come as the Bears rolled
to a 69-3 victory over Wofford, setting a new program record with

🎟 YOU PICK IT!

This week, Baylor Athletics unveiled a new Mini Plan option for the upcoming 2024 Football season.

The new “You Pick It” mini plan offers flexibility and allows fans to build their own mini-plan from three tiers of options to enjoy McLane Stadium this fall.

The Baylor Family can purchase the You Pick It mini plan for $225. Each plan includes the Bears' Homecoming Game on Oct. 26 against Oklahoma State and from there fans can build their plan based on their schedule for the remaining two games. 

🎙 SIC ’EM POD: JASON JENNINGS

Arguably Baylor's best baseball player in school history, Jason Jennings
was a two-time All-American and the first consensus
National Player of the Year in Division I in 1999.

Jennings went on to be a 1st round pick when the Colorado Rockies
took him 16th overall, and had one of the most memorable debuts
in MLB history, pitching a 5-hit shutout while also hitting
his first career home run.

Now, after a successful career in the professional ranks,
Jennings is focused on family, and has found a career in
training the next generation of ball players.
