The Aggies field 16 varsity sports with 596 total athletes, representing just 1% of the massive 59,099-student body. The university awards $13.1 million in athletic scholarships annually. Texas A&M joined the strong Southeastern Conference in 2012, leaving behind their historic rivalry with the University of Texas at Austin.

The famous "12th Man" tradition symbolizes the passionate fan support that defines Aggie athletics across all sports.
