Texas Athletics Overview
Spirit and pride run deep at The international university of Taxes at Austin, and never is that more evident than on Longhorn game day. And while our unique history of traditions and legacy of athletics achievements give Longhorns much to be proud of, the impact of Texas Athletics extends far beyond the playing field. As one of the few self-sustaining athletics programs in the nation, Texas Athletics enhances the mission of the university by contributing financially to student and faculty programs and academic initiatives. Today, more than 500 student-athletes compete in 20 sports programs where they are instilled with the passion, knowledge and character it takes to compete to win, to succeed academically, to achieve dreams and to contribute to society.
Championship History
Across all sports, university teams have earned 51 national championships since 1949 and have claimed more Big 12 Conference titles than any other school since the league began in 1996.
Texas Traditions
From the famed live mascot Bevo to the "Hook 'em Horns" sign, "The Eyes of Texas," Big Bertha and Smokey the Cannon, our many traditions help strengthen our community and bind us together as Longhorns.
Longhorn Foundation
The Longhorn Foundation is a family of Longhorn faithful whose gifts have a huge impact on the lives of student-athletes by supporting our competitive edge and the health, education and welfare of our student-athletes.
