The Creighton sports season is now under way. Between now and next May, there will be a lot of accomplishments by the Bluejay student athletes. There will be some things you hear about and others you may miss.
In addition to the original and timely content by White & Blue Review, there are other writers across the internet that may write something that deals with Creighton athletics. Plus there are events going on across campus that we want to help communicate out to the fans so that they can be a part of these events as well. To help promote both of those things, we present to you Bluejay Bytes.
For the news you might have missed, Bluejay Bytes gives you links to stories and information that can satisfy your craving for more Creighton sports information. Let’s see what is happening this week.
