What's up, peeps? I'm exploring Providence College as a potential option for me and I'm curious if they have a football team. Anyone have any info on their athletics programs?
Hey there! Providence College does not have a football team, but they are very well-known for their other athletic programs, especially in men's basketball and soccer. The teams are named the Friars, and they compete in NCAA Division I sports as part of the Big East Conference.
Basketball is the most popular sport at Providence College, with the men's team having a strong history of success in the Big East. The men's soccer team has also made several NCAA Tournament appearances in recent years, which evidences the strength of the program.
There are also a variety of other sports at Providence College, including cross country, field hockey, swimming and diving, and more. If you're interested in athletics, there are definitely opportunities to support the other teams and get involved in the campus sports community, but if you're interested in football specifically, you'll unfortunately want to look elsewhere!
