Thomas More University Athletics

Thomas More fields 24 varsity teams in NCAA Division II, which sits between the high-profile Division I programs and recreational Division III level. With 609 total athletes among 1,305 students, nearly half the campus participates in varsity sports. The Saints compete in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference and distribute $2.67 million in athletic scholarships across their programs. Division II schools like Thomas More offer athletic scholarships while maintaining a balance between academics and competitive sports. The university has built a reputation for strong soccer programs and competitive basketball teams. Student-athletes here get the college sports experience with scholarships and serious competition, but without the massive stadiums and media attention of major Division I programs. The athletic culture creates significant school spirit on the small Kentucky campus.
