The Boston University, or "Boston U", Terriers compete as members of the America East Conference in NCAA Division I basketball. The school has not sponsored football since 1997. Boston U is a public institution located in the Fenway neighborhood of Boston, Massachusetts. The school has an undergraduate enrollment of around 16,000.

The campus lies in the Fenway area along the Charles River; across the river sits the campus of MIT. I-90 (the Massachusetts Turnpike) and US 20 (Commonwealth Avenue) criss-cross the campus; exit 20 on I-90, approximately two miles west of downtown, is the closest interchange. Agganis Arena (7,200) is the site of games likely to draw larger crowds, and was the site of the opening rounds of the 2007 America East Men's Basketball Tournament. The school's former football stadium, Nickerson Field (21,000) is also the former home of several professional teams, including the Boston Braves -- indeed, it was originally Braves Field before being purchased by the university in 1953. The Boston (New England) Patriots and all of the pre-MLS professional soccer teams in the Boston area also used the facility. Case Gym (1,800) hosts lower-profile basketball games. All three facilities are located on the far west end of the campus, just off Commonwealth Avenue.

Boston U's chief rivals are Boston College and Northeastern, although the rivalries are much more heated in hockey than in any other sport.
