San Diego State University Athletics
The Aztecs compete in Division I of NCAA intercollegiate athletics. The Athletics department at SDSU prides itself on instilling leadership qualities in all of its athletes. Intercollegiate sports include baseball, football, softball, volleyball, and men’s and women’s basketball, golf, soccer, and tennis.
The Aztecs’ all-black uniforms are one of the most recognized traditions at SDSU. Don Coryell-who is also credited with introducing modern passing to college football-originally devised the outfits. Coryell felt the all-black uniforms would be mysterious and menacing, especially during night games. The first game with the all-black outfits took place in 1963.
The Aztecs’ mascot is Montezuma, or “Monty,” and is based upon Montezuma II, the ruler of all Aztecs during the early 16th century. Students try out for the opportunity to portray Monty each year.
