From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

MSU's Breslin Center hosts varsity basketball games and other events.

This is a list of Michigan State Spartans' varsity and club athletic team national championships and runner-up finishes.

Michigan State University has 29 varsity sports teams that compete under the Spartan nickname. The university participates in the NCAA's Division I and in the Big Ten Conference in all varsity sports. Michigan State offers 14 varsity sports for men and 15 for women.[1]

The university's current interim athletic director is Bill Beekman, following the resignation of Mark Hollis.[1]

MSU's Spartan Marching Band or Spartan Brass plays the fight song at every university event. Michigan State University was the first NCAA Division I athletic program to have multiple national championships in both football and basketball, as well as the only school to have multiple national championships in football, basketball, and hockey.
