NORMAL – Illinois State Athletics is proud to officially launch The Battle Bird Society, an exclusive giving program aimed at providing impactful resources for the entire athletics department. This annual leadership society will provide additional opportunities to ISU student-athletes and programs as they compete for championships in all 19 sports.
The college athletics landscape is ever-changing, constantly evolving and challenging for athletics departments around the country. Whether it's the transfer portal, NIL, or the amateurism model itself, college athletics looks much different than it did just 10 years ago. As ISU Athletics continues to navigate the course ahead, its mission remains the same: to achieve academic and athletic excellence and prepare today's students to become tomorrow's leaders.
