Rodeo is not an official NCAA, NAIA or NJCAA sport and there are no limits imposed by these associations on athletic scholarships for participation on varsity rodeo teams. The governing body for college rodeo competitions is the National Intercollegiate Rodeo Association (NIRA) which includes both varsity and club programs. Virtually all collegiate rodeo teams are co-ed.
