College Prowler Take
The various sports teams at Clark Atlanta rarely get any attention from the general student population. The only major event that draws sizable crowds is the annual Homecoming football game. During Homecoming weekend students that may have not even participated in any Clark Atlanta sporting event come to support the Panthers and the mighty marching Panther band. The Panthers are a part of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and a Division II member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association. Although the winning margin is usually low, the Panthers normally find some way to pull off a win so the gathering alumni and fans are able to celebrate the weekend with pride. Clark Atlanta University has a good athletics department; unfortunately, most students are either unaware or choose to not support their fellow Panthers. The athletic department consists of six teams for men and six teams for women. Clark Atlanta University also offers intramural programs in basketball, softball, track and field, and volleyball that surprisingly even fewer people seem to know or care about. Although the total school spirit for the various sporting teams is low, many of the students that are actually involved love their teams and have high expectations of growth in the athletic department.

Varsity sports aren't too big around campus. People don't make a big deal out of attending games and showing support.

I personally love sports, especially football, but CAU’s football team is a big disappointment. They hardly ever win, but there is a lot of school spirit during Homecoming season. Most students go to the basketball or football games, especially if CAU plays Morehouse. |

Clark Atlanta University does not really have a good football team, and it’s kind of disappointing, especially around Homecoming. The basketball team usually does alright, but only a few students actually go out to see the games. This school is really not that big on sports. |

Coming from a multicultural high school where other sports besides football were also popular, it was strange attending a school where nobody cares about the other sports. As a member of the volleyball team, it disappoints me to see the empty seats at all of the volleyball games. |

If you are looking for the type of school with any kind of major sports, then do not come to Clark—I repeat, do not come to Clark! I’m a sports fan, but it’s hard to even enjoy games when there are only a couple of people at the games. |
