About the Program
The Southern University Jaguars boasts first rate athletics for men and women, including football, basketball, baseball, softball, soccer, volleyball, track and field, tennis, golf, bowling, and cross-country that compete in the Southwestern Athletic Conference. The athletic program needs an expansion to Mumford Stadium, an indoor practice facility, and improved parking to accommodate interest in Southern University athletics.
