South Dakota State University Athletics
The South Dakota State University Jackrabbits compete in the NCAA Division I (Division I-AA in football) as of August 2003.

All of these things translate into a much more beneficial atmosphere for student athletes who desire competition, publicity, and a balance of academics and athletics. The Jackrabbit men compete in baseball, basketball, cross country, football, golf, track & field, swimming, tennis and wrestling. The Jackrabbit women compete in basketball, cross country, equestrian, golf, track & field, soccer, softball, swimming, tennis, and volleyball.
