One of the primary goals of the NIRA is to establish and maintain standards for conducting intercollegiate rodeo competition. It seeks to promote intercollegiate rodeo on a national scale by bringing national recognition as an organized and standard collegiate sport and to promote interest, understanding and appreciation and vigilance over western life and culture. NIRA student members are offered the opportunity to bring national recognition to their colleges and universities through rodeo competition. Benefits UMC's NIRA team members are provided with a nearby stable to board their horses. Scheduled practices are held at the University Teaching and Outreach Center indoor arena located on the UMC Campus and several other arenas in the area.
Men have access to roughstock in conjunction with a nearby university.
