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. With this move, the University has acquired a better understanding of its strengths and corresponding weaknesses in the area of athletics, its ability to support significant athletic programs, and its ability to implement carefully designed strategies. 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.
