Discontinued Sports
After Hurricane Katrina, the university suspended its men's and women's track and field program. The track and field program consisted of the three male and three female components of track and field (indoor, outdoor and cross country). UNO has also previously competed in gymnastics, men's soccer and softball. Swimming and diving, women's soccer and both tennis programs have had several stints with the Privateer athletic program.

Famous quotes containing the word sports:
“...I didn’t come to this with any particular cachet. I was just a person who grew up in the United States. And when I looked around at the people who were sportscasters, I thought they were just people who grew up in the United States, too. So I thought, Why can’t a woman do it? I just assumed everyone else would think it was a swell idea.”
—Gayle Gardner, U.S. sports reporter. As quoted in Sports Illustrated, p. 85 (June 17, 1991)
