Hey guys, I'm considering Southeastern Oklahoma State University for college, but I'm also really into sports. Can anyone give me more info on their athletics programs? Do they have a good variety of sports and are the teams competitive? Thanks!
Hey there! Southeastern Oklahoma State University (SOSU) is an NCAA Division II school and is a part of the Great American Conference. They have a variety of sports teams for both men and women. Let’s break it down by gender:
For men's athletics, SOSU's sports are:
1. Baseball
2. Basketball
3. Tennis
4. Football
5. Golf
6. Rodeo
For women's athletics, the offerings are:
1. Basketball
2. Cross Country
3. Golf
4. Track and field
5. Softball
6. Tennis
7. Volleyball
8. Rodeo
As for their competitiveness, it can vary by sport and season, but generally, SOSU's teams have been known to be pretty competitive within the Great American Conference. While they might not consistently rank among the very top teams in Division II, their teams typically perform well at the regional level, and individual athletes from SOSU have competed at the national level as well.
To get a feel for the sports culture at SOSU and to stay updated on the teams, you might want to check out their athletics website and follow the social media accounts for the teams you'd be most interested in supporting. Additionally, if you're considering playing on one of these teams, you can reach out to the coaches to learn more about the recruitment process and any potential opportunities for walk-ons.
Keep in mind that Division II sports will generally have a lower profile than Division I, but this can be an advantage, as it can often lead to a better balance between academics and athletics. But if you're aiming for the highest level of competition, Division I might be a better fit - it's important to consider what you're looking for in terms of sports involvement while thinking about your overall college experience. Best of luck with your future athletic endeavors!
