Mulkey Named to Basketball Hall of Fame; Four Bears Taken in NFL Draft; Lady Bears Trio Named All-Americans ... 

In late March, the NCAA Division I Council approved a one-year eligibility extension for spring-sport student-athletes. At Baylor, this includes baseball, softball, men’s and women’s outdoor track and field, men’s and women’s tennis, and men’s and women’s golf.

It began as another Year of the Bear. Football reached the Big 12 Conference Championship Game and played in the Sugar Bowl for the first time in 63 years. Volleyball claimed the Big 12 title and reached the Final Four — both program firsts. Both basketball teams earned No. 1 national rankings.
