Saint Louis Billikens
The Saint Louis Billikens are the collegiate athletic teams from Saint Louis University of St. Louis, Missouri.〔http://www.slu.edu/〕 The Billikens compete in Division I of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) as a member of the Atlantic 10 Conference〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Atlantic 10 Conference Official Athletic Site )〕 (where they are the westernmost member, and both the first member located west of the Mississippi and in the Central Time Zone). SLU is heavily rumored to be joining the Big East Conference, which would include more geographically relevant rivals like Creighton (Nebraska), Marquette (Wisconsin), and DePaul (in Chicago). The school has nationally recognized soccer programs for men and women. The school has heavily invested in its on-campus athletic facilities in the past twenty years with the creation of Hermann Stadium and Chaifetz Arena. Chris May is the current director of athletics.
==The Billiken name==
An early SLU football coach, John R. Bender,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=What is a Billiken: Unmasking Saint Louis University - Saint Louis University )〕 is said to have been the inspiration for the nickname "Billikens," which is still used by the school's athletic teams. During the 1911 season, according to one version of the story, local sportswriters commented that Bender bore an uncanny resemblance to a charm doll called a Billiken, which was a national fad at the time. His squad became known as "Bender's Billikens" and the name stuck.
