Vanderbilt University
The athletics teams of the university are called the Commodores. They have 16 varsity teams, almost all of which compete in the Southeastern Conference (SEC). Two Vanderbilt women's teams in sports that the SEC does not sponsor are housed elsewhere. The bowling team plays in the Southland Bowling League, a single-sport conference affiliated with the Southland Conference. The lacrosse team plays in the American Athletic Conference.
