Athletics
While the Appalachian State University football team garnered three NCAA Div I FCS national championships between 2005 and 2007 - and upset the University of Michigan in 2007 - Mountaineer athletics has more to brag about than just its gridiron success.
Appalachian fields 20 NCAA Division I varsity sports, 19 of which compete in the Southern Conference (SoCon). For an unprecedented eight times, the Mountaineers have earned in the same year both the SoCon Commissioner's and Germann cups, which recognize the league's top men's and women's all-sports programs.
University Recreation oversees all non-varsity sports activities on campus, including intramurals, club sports, outdoor programs, and fitness and informal recreation.
