The Indiana Hoosiers are the intercollegiate sports teams and players of Indiana University Bloomington, named after the colloquial term for people from the state of Indiana. The Hoosiers participate in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) in 22 sports and became a member of the Big Ten Conference on December 1, 1899. The school's official colors are crimson and cream.
The Indiana Hoosiers have won 24 NCAA national championships and one with the Association for Intercollegiate Athletics for Women (AIAW), in addition to 141 NCAA individual national championships. Titles won by teams include eight by the Hoosiers men's soccer team, a record-setting six straight in men's swimming and diving, five by the Hoosiers men's basketball team, three in men's cross country, one in men's track and field and one in wrestling.
The Hoosiers' athletic program is perhaps best known for its basketball program, with its five NCAA Championships tying for third in history. Indiana's 1976 squad squad remains the last undefeated NCAA men's basketball champion. A 2012 study listed Indiana as the third most valuable collegiate basketball program in the country. Additionally, Hoosiers' athletics is well known for its soccer program; by a number of indicators, it is one of the greatest college soccer programs in the history of the sport. Since the program began in 1973, Indiana owns more National Championships, more wins, has appeared in more College Cups (18) and has a higher winning percentage in both regular season and post-season play than any other school in Division I soccer.
Indiana has two main rivalries including in-state, with the Purdue Boilermakers (see Indiana–Purdue rivalry), and a border rivalry against the Kentucky Wildcats (see Indiana–Kentucky rivalry).
