Intercollegiate Athletics

Sorry, sports fans. Don't have any. Never will.

The good news is that the College does not engage in the restraint of the athletic trade by limiting how much money student athletes may earn. It also means few of our students get confused with minor league scholars from the NFL, NHL, or NBA (though we do have a bunch of really, really tall guys). It also puts the College ahead of most other schools in complying with the letter and spirit of Title IX by offering just as many intercollegiate sports and scholarships to women as we do to men and beasts. We don't even have annoyingly chirpy cheerleaders. Heck,we don't even have a mascot, politically incorrect or otherwise.

But just because we don't want to confuse NSA with the NCAA doesn't mean we're Gnostics. After all, as someone once said, bodily exercise does profit a little bit. So the College does encourage students to exercise their bodies as well as their little gray cells. Students have organized various exercise regimens, intramural sporting events, and club activities (such as St. Andy's Rugby Football Club, boxing, and basketball--to name a few) that get them out of their chairs, away from their books, and on the road toward a healthier, happier, albeit sweatier future.
