Despite their technical backgrounds and courses of study, many
Georgia Tech students participate in college athletics, outdoor
activities and other forms of sport. Georgia Tech offers seventeen varsity
sports: Men's Football, Men's and Women's Basketball, Men's
Baseball, Women's Softball, Women's volleyball, Men's Golf, Men's
and Women's Tennis, Men's and Women's Swimming and Diving, Men's
and Women's Track and Field, and Men's and Women's Cross Country.
Approximately 150 Tech students have gone into the National Football League
(NFL), with many others going into the National Basketball
Association (NBA) or Major League Baseball (MLB). Some
Tech players have also participated in the Olympic Games.
