Baylor Bears
From SportsPaper Wiki
(Redirected from Baylor Lady Bears)
The Baylor Bears are the athletic teams that represent Baylor University. For much of the school's athletic history, the school's women's teams were "Lady Bears"; over time, all of the school's women's teams have dropped "Lady" from the nickname, with the last three holdouts of basketball, soccer, and volleyball doing so for the 2021-22 school year. The Bears participate in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as one of only two private school members of the Big 12 Conference. Prior to joining the Big 12, Baylor was a member of the Southwest Conference from their charter creation in 1914 until its dissolution in 1996. Baylor is also a founding member of the Big 12 Conference.
