Paul Quinn College Athletics

Paul Quinn competes at the NAIA level, which offers a middle ground between big-time college sports and purely recreational athletics. The Tigers field seven varsity sports with 81 total athletes, meaning about 13.5% of the 600-student body participates in varsity athletics. The school allocates $150,000 in athletic scholarships across all sports. Paul Quinn's athletic program reflects the college's broader philosophy of well-rounded student development rather than high-profile sports culture. The Tigers don't have the packed stadiums of major universities, but athletics serves as an important part of campus life at this historically black institution. With relatively modest facilities and resources, the program focuses on character building and providing opportunities for student-athletes to compete while pursuing their education in Dallas.
