Barry University Athletics

Barry's Buccaneers compete in NCAA Division II, which offers athletic scholarships but maintains a balance between sports and academics without the intense pressure of major college athletics. The university awards $4,493,832 in athletic scholarships across 19 varsity sports. With 328 total athletes among 2,245 students, about 15% of the campus participates in varsity athletics. Barry competes in the Sunshine State Conference alongside other Florida schools. The Buccaneers have built strong programs in soccer and tennis over the years. Division II athletics at Barry means student-athletes receive scholarship support while still prioritizing their academic experience. The athletic programs reflect the university's Catholic mission of developing well-rounded individuals. Sports culture exists but doesn't dominate campus life like at major Division I schools.
