Athletics Overview
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.
