The Home of the College Sports Fan
Some people cover the game. We cover everything around it.
College sports are bigger than what happens between kickoff and the final whistle. They’re communities, traditions and experiences for students, alumni and fans.
Student Section is built for the people who plan their fall around Saturdays, their spring around brackets, and their summer around Omaha. The fans who know the exact spot to be on game day, and who can explain in detail why their rival’s fight song is objectively worse. We’re less interested in breaking down the depth chart than in what college sports mean to the people filling the stands.
What We Do
We discuss the loudest student sections and the stadiums every fan needs to visit. We dig into how your school’s most beloved traditions actually started. We settle rivalry debates or start new ones – and let you finish them. We build the ultimate game day guides for the towns that live and breathe college sports. And we tell the stories of the people who make fandom what it is.
This isn’t a one-way broadcast. The name is Student Section for a reason. The section doesn’t work without the people in it. You’ll find polls to vote in, rankings built to be argued with, and debates that aren’t settled until the fans weigh in.
