What ls A Torero? The University of San Diego, which sponsors sixteen NCAA Division I

intercollegiate teams, competes under the athletic nickname of Toreros. In 1961, the Most Reverend Bishop Buddy, the founding father of USD, announced that the school 's nickname would change from Pioneers to Toreros. "The name Toreros is keeping with the friendly relationship which exists between San Diego and Mexico," His Excellency said at the time. Torero comes from the spanish term toro, the bull, and from the word torear, to fight bulls. All of the contestants in the ring are called toreros. Torero is a general term describing a bullfighter and signifies courage, honor and fidelity. USO student-athletes, like the Torero, represent a willingness to stand alone in the ring and accept the challenge. The 2000-2001 school year marked the 40th anniversary with Toreros as the official nickname for USO athletic teams.
