This is Oklahoma
The University of Oklahoma is home to one of the most
storied athletics programs in the nation. The Sooners
boast 25 national championships in men's and women's
sports, more than 225 team conference titles and more
than 700 All-Americans.
The success of Oklahoma's teams contribute to a sense
of pride in the community and across the state. The
very mention of the word "Sooners" evokes
a sense of history, tradition and championships. Nationwide,
OU is synonymous with winning.
From the Director of Athletics
The pride in our program goes beyond the trophies and
victories to the very things for which we stand. Throughout
the department, OU's student-athletes, coaches and
staff members are committed to our core values, a set
of beliefs we use in making every decision.
Those values
include respect, accountability for self and others,
passion for comprehensive excellence, celebration of
diversity and integrity in all our affairs.
Our commitment to these values allows us to view everything
we do within the greater framework of our mission statement
-- inspiring champions today and preparing leaders
for tomorrow.
Like a mosaic, our combined commitment
to the core values creates the picture of who we are
as people and as Sooners. It helps us understand that
we are a small part of the legacy of excellence that
is Intercollegiate Athletics at the University of Oklahoma.
