Bethune-Cookman Football Tickets
BCU Wildcats Football Tickets
Head on down to the gridiron in beautiful Daytona Beach with your BCU football tickets from TicketSmarter. Bethune-Cookman University has been fielding a football team since 1925. The Wildcats play in the NCAA Division I Football Championship Subdivision (FCS), They are members of the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC).
During the 1970s, BCU was classified as an NCAA Division II school. When they made the jump to the Division I level in the 1980s, the Wildcats enjoyed multiple MEAC conference championships. The first such championship came in 1984 after the Wildcats swept the rest of the conference. From 2012 through 2015, four straight MEAC conference championship titles were won by the Wildcats.
BCU football has reached the FCS Playoffs at least five times. They qualified in back-to-back years in 2002 and 2003. Unfortunately, they lost both times to Georgia Southern and Florida Atlantic respectively. The 2013 season saw the Wildcats reach double-digit wins. BCU football tickets during that season saw a team earn a conference title, playoff berth, and Black College Football National Championship. It was Bethune-Cookman’s second such national championship.
While BCU is a relatively small school, there have been a number of players who have gone on to play in the NFL. One such player, Larry Little, has been inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame. He played at BCU from 1963-1966 and went on to be drafted by the Los Angeles Chargers. Much of his hall of fame career was spent playing guard for the Miami Dolphins.
