The Kansas State Wildcats (variously "Kansas State", "K-State" or "KSU") are the intercollegiate athletic teams that represent Kansas State University. The official color of the teams is Royal Purple, making Kansas State one of very few schools (including also Syracuse and Harvard) that have only one official color; white and silver are generally used as complementary colors.
Kansas State participates in the NCAA's Division I (Football Bowl Subdivision) and is a member of the Big 12 Conference since 1996. Previously, Kansas State competed in the Kansas Collegiate Athletic Conference until 1912; the Missouri Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Association from 1913 to 1928; and the Big Eight Conference from 1928 to 1996 (known as the Big Six from 1928 to 47 and the Big Seven from 1947 to 57). Until 2014, the women's rowing team also had dual membership in Conference USA, until the Big 12 began sponsoring rowing for the 2015 season.
Kansas State offers fourteen sports at a varsity level. As of July 2015, Kansas State has won 78 total conference championships through the years, not counting titles captured in the old Kansas Intercollegiate Athletic Association (see chart below). Kansas State has not won any team NCAA championships, but has had dozens of individual national champions.
The Kansas State Wildcats are currently represented in the following NCAA Division I varsity sports:
Men's sports
Women's sports
Kansas State announced it will discontinue its sponsorship of women's equestrian at the conclusion of the 2015–16 season and replace it with women's soccer in the fall of 2016.
