Ole Miss athletics enters the 2020/21 calendar year with 16 men’s and women’s NCAA-sanctioned athletic teams that compete on the Division I level in the Southeastern Conference. If there are college sports, that is. (Pssst... wear a mask!!)
The first group to play for the University of Mississippi was the football team, which began play 24 years after the first college football game between Princeton and Rutgers, in 1893.

Since then, the Rebels have added baseball, softball, women’s soccer, rifle and volleyball, and men’s and women’s golf, tennis, cross country, track and field and basketball.
