Bowling Green State University-Main Campus Athletics

Bowling Green competes in NCAA Division I, meaning big-time college athletics with full scholarships and serious competition. The Falcons field 16 varsity sports with 439 total athletes, representing just 3.6% of the 12,255 students on campus. The university awards $7.68 million in athletic scholarships annually. BGSU is part of the Mid-American Conference and maintains a heated rivalry with nearby University of Toledo in the annual Battle of I-75. The Falcons have built a strong tradition in hockey, with their men's team claiming a national championship in 1984. The football team has produced several NFL players over the years. While not a football powerhouse, Bowling Green creates genuine school spirit during MAC conference play, especially when facing Toledo.
