The '''Southwestern University''' Pirates compete as members of the [[{{scac}}]] in [[NCAA Division III]] basketball.  The school has not sponsored football since the late 1940s, but will reinstate its program for the 2013 season.  Southwestern is a private Methodist institution located in Georgetown, Texas, about a half-hour north of Austin.  The school has an undergraduate enrollment of around 1000.

The campus sits east of downtown Georgetown along TX 29 (University Avenue), between I-35 and TX 130, both of which are freeways with exits for TX 29 (261A and 415, respectively).  Bernard Berkleback Field (10,000) is technically an off-campus facility, located between the campus and TX 130 on TX 29.  Corbin J. Robertson Center (2,000) is located in the center of campus on Southwestern Boulevard.

Southwestern's primary rivals are [[Trinity (TX)]] and [[Austin]].

Nine former Pirates have played in the NFL, including DE Carlton Massey.  They have provided no players to the NBA or ABA.
