Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Despite CSUN’s varsity teams’ success as a Division I school, not many students attend the games. Certain teams are more popular than others. The men’s basketball team has their faithful Bullpit made up of students who attend every game and stand the entire time yelling obscenities at the other team, and turning their back when the opposing team enters the court. But most teams don’t receive the same recognition. The majority of students who attend games are athletes themselves who come out to support other teams. Although most students don’t head out to cheer on the athletes, they are aware of the school’s athletic accomplishments.

Intramural sports also have few participants. Sororities and fraternities make up the bulk of intramural team members. They really go at each other on the field and make it exciting by building up rivalries. Intramurals are also popular for clubs including the Latino Business Association, and the Deaf Students Association. But other than that, intramural teams are made of students living in the dorms. But due to the lack of organization and communication between the intramural office and the students participating, playing in intramurals can be frustrating. If you aren’t part of a sorority, fraternity or club team, the best thing to do is to make your own team so you can share in the excitement and competition with your friends. Otherwise, you end up playing on a team of people that you don’t know, and it’s too easy to forget about the game—and before you know it, you won’t care at all.

I haven't tried for a team, but CSU Northridge offers a variety of sports. Some sports you probably haven't heard of, some sports that aren't common in high school or in other universities, and best of all, there are always games to go to and support your school. The teams are always training, giving it their all, the SRC (Student Recreation Center) offers a better chance for athletes to keep up and/or to get back in shape. The school spirit is pretty high, and as for the facilities in sports it's pretty high too. All professors know, because I used to have professors that weren't sport savvy, but really did enjoy watching a game or two and always knew if there was a game, when, and where.
