  • Volleyball, Locks of Love partner up

    Many athletes spend a small fortune fixing up their hair to look just right. Troy Polamalu insured his hair for $1 million this year.

But the Butler volleyball team…

  • Women’s soccer grabs conference opener

    The Butler women’s soccer team opened its conference season with a win on Sunday. The Bulldogs (3-7) began their Horizon League campaign against Wright State.

  • International athlete serves students

    For most Butler students, classes and extracurricular activities are enough to stay busy on campus. Adding one job to that combination might lead a student to count down the days to Christmas.

  • XC continues impressive runs at Intercollegiates

    Both the men’s and women’s cross country teams have gotten off to promising starts this season, and neither team has even used their entire squad yet. On Sept. 17, at Purdue’s annual Indiana Intercollegiate Meet, the Butler men grabbed a fourth-place finish, while the Butler women finished second  in a 20-team field. Leading the charge…

  • OVERTIME | Bush still a great player despite Heisman controversy

    Reggie Bush made history last week when he forfeited his 2005 Heisman Trophy after speculation that it would be stripped from him due to allegations that he had accepted thousands of dollars in gifts from California marketing agents. The Heisman he won as the starting running back at the University of Southern California was the…
