I Ball State's 12-sport intercollegiate athletic program anxiously awaits its first year as an independent and a member of the NCAA University Division. For the first time since 1950, Ball State will not be a member of an athletic conference. The university withdrew from the Indiana Collegiate Conference at the conclusion of the 1967-68 school year. At the same time, the university announced that all future Cardinal teams will participate entirely in the NCAA University Division.

Previously, Ball State teams had participated mainly in the NCAA College Division with several teams competing on the university level.
