The University of San Diego, which sponsors sixteen NCAA Division I intercollegiate teams, com– petes 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. USD student-athletes, like the Torero, represent a willingness to stand alone in the ring and accept the challenge. The 2004-2005 school year marks the 44th an– niversary with Toreros as the official nickname for USD athletic teams. ------------------- Acknowledgements Design, Edit & Layout: Adam Carney, Ted Gosen & Stephanie Rockwell Printing: Kings Printing Corporation
