Both men's and women's teams are called the "Sooners", a nickname given to the early participants in the Land Rush of 1889, which initially opened the Unassigned Lands in the future state of Oklahoma to non-native settlement.[2][3] The university's athletic teams compete in the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA)'s Division I, in the Big 12 Conference.
