Buffalo Bulls
The Buffalo Bulls are the intercollegiate athletic teams that represent the University at Buffalo (UB) in Buffalo, New York. The Bulls compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division I level as a member of Mid-American Conference (MAC) East Division, having joined the conference in 1998. Buffalo sponsors teams in seven men's and nine women's NCAA sanctioned sports. The football team competes in the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS), the highest level for college football.
The mascot of UB athletic teams is Victor E. Bull.
The first half of Buffalo's color scheme of blue and white was implemented in 1886 when Buffalo's medical school began tying its diplomas using blue ribbons. Later, its pharmacy school began tying its diplomas using white ribbons to distinguish itself from the medical school. Those colors were adopted as Buffalo's official colors as the university grew and added more departments. Internally, Buffalo refers to its shade of royal blue as "UB Blue" and its shade of white as "Hayes Hall White."
Buffalo's athletic history predates the foundation of the NCAA. In 1894, a group of medical students at what was then known as the University of Buffalo formed the University of Buffalo Athletic Association and organized its first football team. A baseball team also represented Buffalo since at least 1894, according to an article in the Buffalo Evening News from October 1895 which mentioned that the previous year's team would be reorganized. Before the close of the century, a hockey and track and field team were also formed.
In 1903, the school's athletics program was canceled due to lack of funding. In 1905, during the period of inactivity, a men's basketball team began play, although it was not officially sponsored by the school.
Buffalo's intercollegiate sports program returned in 1915.
Buffalo's sports teams were known as the "Buffalo Bison" until the 1930s, at which point they changed their name to the Bulls to avoid confusion with several professional sports teams of the same name. However, in 1960, the Buffalo Bills began play in the American Football League. Their similar names would lead to decades of brand confusion. In 1997, Buffalo's women's teams changed their names to the Bulls from the "Buffalo Royals".
Buffalo joined the State University of New York Athletic Conference (SUNYAC) in the 1978–79 academic year.
