"We truly value the long-term relationship we have had with NRG and look forward to the expansion of coverage with additional sports on NRG's radio stations. Also, having all of our men's basketball games now available on 101.9 FM expands the radio footprint in Omaha for our fans."

Performance matches CU's best mark in last 20 years


OMAHA, Neb. -- Creighton Athletics finished in third place in the Division I-AAA Athletic Directors Association All-Sports Trophy standings for 2022-23, matching its best performance in the past 20 years. The recognition was announced on Thursday, with CU finishing behind only Pepperdine and Xavier among the 98 Division I schools that do not sponsor football.

Those 21 sports feature baseball, (m/w) basketball, (m/w) cross country, (m/w) golf, (m/w) lacrosse, (m/w) soccer, softball, (m/w) swimming, (m/w) tennis, (m/w) track (indoor and outdoor) and women's volleyball.
