This is a list of the Michigan State Spartans' national championship wins and losses. Michigan State University has 22 varsity sports teams who compete under the Spartan nickname. The university participates in the NCAA's Division I-A and in the Big Ten Conference in all Varsity sports except ice hockey, which competes in the Central Collegiate Hockey Association. MSU's golf team won the Big Ten Championship in 1969 and again in 2005. Michigan State offers 14 varsity sports for men and 15 for women.[1] The university's current Athletic Director is Ron Mason, who served as head hockey coach from 1979 to 2002, retiring with a 608-261-64 record at MSU.[2] MSU's marching band plays the fight song at every university event, and both students and alumni sing along. Michigan State University is the only NCAA Division I athletic program to have multiple National Championships in both football and basketball.
