Jeff Robinson, city council president and Democratic candidate for Muncie mayor, announced his plans for the city’s infrastructure, an issue he claimed is “one of the biggest issues on the minds of our citizens.”
An investigation by Attorney General Rokita’s Homeowner Protection Unit determined that MiddleTown Property Management LLC and MiddleTown Property Group LLC have been using the unregistered trade name “BSU Rentals.” The Attorney General’s office suggests that this could confuse consumers, leading them to believe the company is in association with Ball State.

The search to fill the position has already begun and is expected to be concluded by October, according to Vice President of Student Affairs Ro-Anne Royer Engle.
If Felix Egharevba had to do it all over again, he would have done the same thing. Five years on from choosing to play volleyball at Ball State, the middle blocker would not have changed a single decision. “I left everything out [there],” he said after playing his final match in Worthen Arena. “I came in as a young freshman and I worked for this spot, I worked for this opportunity, I worked to be where I am right now.”
With a Co-Mid-American Conference (MAC) Regular Season Championship, a second-place finish at the MAC Championship Meet and a nationally-ranked 34th-best NQS score of 196.395, Ball State earned an at-large team bid to the NCAA Regionals in Norman, Oklahoma, the first time since 1999 the Cardinals will compete at regionals as a team and just the second time in program history.
As the crowd filled the court, head coach Matt Luce was shaking hands and thanking fans for their congratulations left and right, getting lost in the crowd. When it came time to speak about the game, he asked to sit on the bench. After all, his team had just made history, and he wanted to take a breather and let it set in. The Raiders defeated the Carroll Cougars 73-50 to make history as the first Wapahani boys' basketball team to win a Regional Championship.
At a preseason get-together in Indianapolis, Michael Lewis was talking with a group of alumni and donors about the upcoming Ball State Men’s Basketball season, which would be his first as head coach of the program. A question was posed to Lewis, one that would kick off a revolution in the 2022-23 season: How can the Cardinals get butts in seats at Worthen Arena and build ‘The Nest,’ Worthen Arena’s student section? His idea, one he admitted may have made University President Geoffrey Mearns and Ball State Legal Services a little nervous, was pretty simple: free beer.
Following up a 15-point performance in a five-set loss to Lewis (7-6, 1-1 MIVA) in the conference opener, Ball smashed a career-high 18 kills as the Cardinals (6-4, 1-1 MIVA) bounced back against Midwestern Intercollegiate Volleyball Association (MIVA) opponent McKendree (5-4, 0-2 MIVA).
It’s official, Jeff Mitchell is the new director of athletics.
While most Ball State students hunkered down in their first week of winter break, the men’s basketball team took to the court in Worthen Arena against Georgia Southern.
