Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

The football and basketball teams have garnered more support in the past few years, considering how well they have been doing. In 2010, the football team had a near-perfect record and even went on to the Division I-AA title game, though they lost. The 2010 basketball team had a regular season record of 22-10 and earned its second NIT (National Invitation Tournament) berth.

Most other sporting events attract fewer students, though many students do tend to participate in club sports. Still, William & Mary is far from being an athletically focused school, and most students are more inclined to excel academically rather than physically. There are great facilities for sporting events and exercise, including a large and well-equipped gym (with multiple basketball courts, racketball courts, and a pool) and multiple gymnasiums in the kinesiology building (Adair Hall). There is also a fair amount of kinesiology majors out there who aim to become physical therapists and the like.

Limited School Spirit

The athletic events at William and Mary are fun to attend, but football and basketball games are not well attended. Students care more about academic excellence than the football team.

There If You Want It

The College's sports arent huge. People follow them and if were good, then people can get excited. But otherwise, the football games are more fun to tailgate than to go to. Facilities are generally nice. The football stadium is beautiful and the big gym is brand new. IM sports are pretty big, mostly within the fraternity league and with teams of freshman halls though.

Club Sports Rule

Football games are usually well-attended. Some die-hard fans attend games for other sports, but most students just don't care. Few students travel to away games. Club and IM sports are much more popular, especially with Greek life. It's easy to get involved, because you usually don't need prior experience, and they're a great way to meet new people.
