Sports
The athletics teams of the university are called the Buffaloes. CU, a member of NCAA Division I, has 16 varsity teams—six for men and nine for women, plus a coeducational skiing team. Of these teams, all but skiing compete in the Big 12 Conference, which CU rejoined in July 2024 after spending 13 years in the Pac-12 Conference. Because neither the Big 12 nor the Pac-12 runs a skiing league, that team is a member of the Rocky Mountain Intercollegiate Ski Association.
