The Coastal Carolina Chanticleers are the athletic teams that represent Coastal Carolina University. They participate in Division I of the NCAA and are a charter member of the Big South Conference. Coastal fields varsity teams in 17 sports, 8 for men and 9 for women. The football team competes in the Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), formerly I-AA. The University regularly competes for the Sasser Cup which is the Big South's trophy for the university which has the best sports program among the member institutions. Coastal has won the Sasser Cup nine times, just ahead of rival Liberty University, which has won it eight times. Until the mid-1960s Coastal's teams were known as the Trojans. Upon its affiliation with the University of South Carolina, the push was made for a mascot more in line with the parent's mascot (the Gamecock); the ultimate choice was the Chanticleer (pronounced SHON-ti-clear), the proud, witty rooster made famous in "The Nun's Priest's Tale" of Chaucer's ''Canterbury Tales'' (the mascot itself would be named Chauncey). When Coastal became an independent university in 1993, despite some calls for "a complete split from USC" (i.e., change the mascot), the Chanticleer remained the school's mascot.〔http://www.coastal.edu/about/chanticleer.html〕 On September 1, 2015, Coastal Carolina accepted an invitation to join the Sun Belt Conference in all sports except football starting with the 2016-17 academic year, with football joining in 2017-18. ==Sports Teams== Coastal Carolina competes in the NCAA in the following sports: Men's Sports *Baseball *Basketball *Cross Country *Football *Golf *Indoor & Outdoor Track and Field *Soccer *Tennis Women's Sports *Basketball *Beach volleyball * *Cross Country *Golf *Lacrosse *Indoor & Outdoor Track and Field *Soccer *Softball *Tennis *Volleyball * = The beach volleyball team will compete as an affiliate member of the Atlantic Sun Conference beginning in the spring of 2016. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Coastal Carolina Chanticleers」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
