Weber State University Athletics

Weber State competes in NCAA Division I, meaning serious athletic competition with full scholarships and potential for national exposure. The Wildcats field 14 varsity sports and award over $5.2 million in athletic scholarships annually. With 423 total athletes among 15,619 students, about 2.7% of the student body participates in varsity athletics. Weber State competes in the Big Sky Conference alongside other western universities. The program has built a respectable regional reputation, particularly in basketball where the Dee Events Center can create an electric atmosphere during conference play. Utah State serves as a natural in-state rival given both schools' positions in Utah's athletic landscape. While not a powerhouse program, Weber State athletics provide genuine Division I competition and school spirit for students in the Ogden community.
