The school's primary conference affiliation is with the Summit League; its football team is a member of the Division I FCS (formerly Division I-AA) Missouri Valley Football Conference. NicknameWIU's nickname, the Leathernecks, and its mascot, the English bulldog, are taken from the traditions of the United States Marine Corps. The university has had permission to use the official nickname and mascot of the Corps since 1927, when Ray Hanson, then-athletic director and coach of the baseball, basketball and football teams, gained permission to use the symbols as an homage to his service in that military branch during World War I.[1] The university holds the distinction of being the only non-military institution to officially have its nickname derived from a branch of the military service.[1] Since the fall semester of 2009, the men's and women's teams have been unified under the Leathernecks name;[2] previously, the women's teams and athletes at the school had been known as the Westerwinds.
