Ohio State University Sports Offered

Hi everyone! I'm considering Ohio State University, and I'm really into sports. Can anyone tell me how many sports are offered at OSU? What are some of the popular ones on campus? Any insights would be appreciated!

Hello! Ohio State University is well-known for its sports programs and has a vibrant athletics scene. The university offers a total of 36 varsity sports teams (17 men's teams and 19 women's teams). Some of the most popular and successful sports on campus include football, basketball, soccer, track and field, and wrestling. The Ohio State Buckeyes compete in the NCAA Division I and the Big Ten Conference, which provides countless opportunities for student-athletes to showcase their abilities on a national stage.

In particular, the annual football rivalry game against the University of Michigan, or "The Team Up North" as they're known in Columbus, is the stuff of legend, as is known simply as "The Game" in the wider world of college football. If you end up attending Ohio State, your experiences at The Game will assuredly become some of your core college memories.

Additionally, there are numerous club sports and intramural sports available for students who want to participate in sports at a more recreational or competitive level without being part of the varsity teams. These offerings allow students with varying levels of interest and skill to still engage in their favorite sports and stay active during their time on campus.

Overall, Ohio State's commitment to sports is evident both in the variety of sports offered and the high level of competition. Whether you're planning to become a student-athlete or simply looking to play for fun and stay active, there is likely a sports option available for you at OSU. Go Buckeyes!
