Butler University unveiled its new mascot, an English bulldog named Blue V, on November 13 at a campus celebration. Blue V, a 12-week-old puppy, is set to succeed retired mascot Blue IV. His handler, April Kirts, shared that Blue V is currently training and will make his first appearance at the Butler-Pitt men's basketball game later that night. Blue V was selected for his calm demeanor and connection with people, showing promise in his early days as the university's mascot.
