Hi folks, I'm very keen on staying active in college and would love to try out different sports. Wondering, which colleges offer the most sports programs?
The number of sports programs a college offers can vary greatly, but generally, larger universities tend to have a broader selection. As an example, Stanford, known for its strong athletic profile, reportedly offers 36 varsity sports. This is one of the highest in the nation.
Ohio State University follows suit, supporting over 30 varsity sports teams in its huge athletic program. Other schools with substantial sports offerings include the University of Texas, Harvard, and Penn State.
Remember, if you're not looking to compete at a varsity level, many colleges offer intramural or club sports teams which can be less time-intensive but still a great way to stay involved in sports. Participation in these sports can bring a fantastic balance to your social life and academics.
