The Truman Bulldogs are the sports teams of Truman State University, located in Kirksville, Missouri. They participate in the NCAA's Division II and in the Great Lakes Valley Conference (GLVC), joining the conference in 2013 after having been a member of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) since that league's creation in 1912.[2] Because the GLVC does not sponsor wrestling, that team remained in the MIAA.
