The '''Iowa Wesleyan College''' Tigers {{d3comx|sliac|umac}}.  Iowa Wesleyan is a private Methodist institution located in Mount Pleasant, Iowa, about two hours southwest of Davenport.  {{enrol|1,000}}

The campus is on the north side of Mount Pleasant, between Broadway and Lincoln Street, south of Broad Street. Evans Field (5,000) is across Lincoln Street from the northeast corner of campus, in the Mapleleaf Athletic Complex. Ruble Arena (800) is located at the corner of Main Street and Franklin Street, attached to the Howe Student Union building. The nearest freeway access is 34 miles to the north, where the US 218 freeway ends its 18-mile run from I-80 exit 239A just west of Iowa City; beyond I-80, US 218 joins I-380, continuing on to Cedar Rapids. Long-term plans call for US 218 to become a freeway all the way from Saint Louis to Minneapolis; should those come to fruition, the nearest freeway access would be a mere mile from campus at US 34.

The Tigers' rivalries have dried up with their shift to Division III; [[William Penn]] used to be their chief antagonists.

Iowa Wesleyan has never sent a player to the pros in basketball, and only one -- pre-war tackle Sandy Sandberg -- to the NFL. However, the school's football program does have a couple of noteworthy names. Hal Mumme devised the air raid offense as the Tigers' coach in the late 1980s, and Mike Leach served as Mumme's assistant there.
