Student Author OverviewWhat's This?

Although Skidmore is a Division III/Liberty League school, sports are not very central to campus life. All of the sports teams on campus take their sport very seriously and compete successfully within their leagues. There is some bitterness about the lack of support for Skidmore's sports. There is very little school-wide spirit surrounding sports on campus. 

There is also a fairly large divide between athletes and non-athletes. This can be chalked up to time spent on/with a team and differing interests as well as stigmas put on both athletes and non-athletes. For example, since Skidmore is a Division III school, Skidmore does not give its sports scholarships; every student is there on academic merit. Despite this divide, there are certainly athletes who are friends with non-athletes and vice versa.

Fans: Apathetic, Athletes: Passionate

As far as fans go it's not really a huge fan based college. But if you're an athlete your coach and team have your back. There are some people on my team that I'm not best friends with but if someone insulted or threatened them we'd all have their back in an instant.

Passionate Athletes

Although Skidmore is a Division 3 school, the students who choose to participate in athletics expend much of their time and energy training and competing. Not everyone is involved in sports, but those who are truly care about their teams and work hard to succeed.

Sports Are Not Essential to Skidmore's Brand

I had nothing to do with sports and went to maybe 2 games total at Skidmore. There is an interest in sports but it does not fit in with the typical Skidmore student.
