For most of Colorado State University’s history, the Rams have long been considered a football school. Some of the Rams’ legends of the highest tier were part of this program. Greats such as Pro Football Hall of Fame inductee Jack Christiansen, legendary head coach and Athletic Director Harry Hughes and recent Super Bowl LV champion Shaquil Barrett are just a few names that have painted CSU history on the gridiron.
In recent years, the football program has lacked its former glory, while men’s and women’s basketball have experienced great success. This begs the question: is CSU a football or basketball school?
