context_page_description: Oklahoma Panhandle State University is a public college in Goodwell, Oklahoma. OPSU is a baccalaureate degree-granting institution. General governance of the institution is provided by the Board of Regents of the Oklahoma Agricultural and Mechanical Colleges. Academic programs and financial support are authorized and coordinated through the Oklahoma State Regents for Higher Education.
context_section_description: OPSU competes as a member of the Sooner Athletic Conference as the "Aggies" (except rodeo and football). The university sponsors football, volleyball (women), softball (women), baseball (men), men's and women's golf, men's and women's cross-country, and men's and women's basketball.
  The football team plays at Carl Wooten Field and competes in the NAIA Central States Football League. In the early nineties, OPSU Aggies football was known as a football powerhouse in NAIA. The program has recently had some success thanks to the late Mike Wyatt (2007–2010). The current coach, Russell Gaskamp, has set new records in player involvement in community service activities.
  A point of pride for OPSU is its men's and women's rodeo teams. The school is a member of the Central Plains Region of the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) and has won several regional and national team championships as well as numerous individual championships in the sport. The OPSU Men's Rodeo Team won national titles in 1997, 1998, 2000, 2004. 2013, 2017, and 2018. As part of their scholarship package, rodeo team members may receive lodging in special housing and stalls for their animals.
