THE SPIRIT OF INDIANA

24 SPORTS, ONE TEAM

It’s who we are. It’s what we believe and it lives in the hearts of our student-athletes.

The Spirit of Indiana: 24 Sports, One Team is a creed that represents Indiana University Athletics’ core values, mission statement and strategic plan–all rolled into one solid commitment.

The motto of “24 Sports, One Team” has been embraced by all of us at IU Athletics. It’s our way of saying that we best pursue our individual goals by working together for the greater good.

It’s a tribute to team and school over self. It’s a pledge we make to ourselves and to IU.
