University of Arkansas at Little Rock Athletics

UALR competes in NCAA Division I, meaning the Trojans offer athletic scholarships and face high-level competition. The university awards $4,040,511 in athletic scholarships across 11 varsity sports. With 263 total athletes among 4,740 students, about 5.6% of the student body competes at the varsity level. The Trojans joined the Ohio Valley Conference, which includes schools like Murray State and Tennessee State. UALR basketball has been the program's flagship sport, with the men's team making several NCAA tournament appearances over the decades. The Jack Stephens Center serves as home court for basketball and volleyball. As a mid-major program, UALR focuses on regional competition rather than national prominence. The athletic programs serve the commuter-heavy campus by creating school spirit and community connections in Arkansas's capital city.
