Kennesaw State University fields 17 varsity athletics teams which are called the Owls. After spending ten years in Division II's Peach Belt Conference, the university fully transitioned to Division I status in the National Collegiate Athletic Association at the beginning of the 2009–10 season. All of Kennesaw State's sports teams compete in the Atlantic Sun Conference, except for the football team, which is an associate member of the Big South Conference. The school mascot is Scrappy the Owl.
Kennesaw State's athletic department was founded in 1983, and initially offered nine sports: women’s basketball, men’s soccer, men’s & women’s cross country, and men’s & women’s track and field. The program first began competition in the Georgia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, part of the NAIA. In just 23 years, the school has transitioned to a full NCAA Division I program.
A member of the Atlantic Sun Conference (ASUN), Kennesaw State sponsors teams in eight men's and ten women's NCAA sanctioned sports:
In their short history, the Owls have had 32 players who have been drafted by MLB teams. Five of their alumni have reached the Major Leagues, including Jason Jones of the Texas Rangers, Chad Jenkins of the Toronto Blue Jays, Brett Campbell of the Washington Nationals, and Willie Harris, who earned a World Series ring with the Chicago White Sox in 2005, of the Cincinnati Reds. In 2014, Max Pentecost won the Johnny Bench Award as the best catcher in NCAA's Division I.
