👟 High Five!
🏈 Movin’ On Up
🐻 And much, much more!

🎟 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. 

📈 STOCK UP

🔺 High Five. It was so nice, the Bears did it twice.

Not one, but ✌️ members of the Baylor track & field squad earned top-five national finishes as Alexis Brown (long jump) and Molly Haywood (pole vault) both finished fifth-place overall at the NCAA Championships on Thursday night in Eugene.

In addition, the BU women's 4x100 earned an automatic qualifier to this weekend’s 4×100 finals, finishing the prelim in the ninth-overall position.

🔺 Movin’ On Up. With the 2024 season is less than 100 days away, the Baylor football program moved some staff members into new roles for the upcoming year.

BU football administrator Keava Soil-Cormier has moved into a newly created Associate AD for NIL Administration and Pro Relations role, Aaron Hunt has been promoted to Associate AD for Player Personnel, and Callie Cameron has been hired as Director of Player Personnel.

🎙 SIC ‘EM POD: MICHAEL FORD

No better way to get ready for the Bears’ showing
at NCAA Championships than sitting down with the man himself,
Baylor Track & Field Head Coach Michael Ford. 

The Baylor alum, and former 2-time indoor national champion,
has been instrumental over the past 2 decades in Baylor’s
success on the track, mentoring countless All-Americans,
program record holders, and national champions. 

Now, in his 3rd year as Head Coach at his alma mater,
Coach Ford is leading Baylor to nationals, and
is looking forward to an incredible opportunity with
Team USA this summer at the Olympics.

🌎 GOING GLOBAL

Some head to the beach.
Some head to the mountains.

These Bears headed across the ocean as the Baylor volleyball squad is in the midst of an incredible 10-day European tour.
