MT also fields teams in club sports such as rugby union, ice hockey, men's soccer, and inline hockey. These "club sports" are not sanctioned by the university, though each team does receive funding as a student organization. They are also authorized to use school logos, wordmarks, and identities. These teams do not compete at the NCAA level, though they do compete against other colleges and universities within unofficial intercollegiate organizations.
MT has won two NCAA national championships in team sports: golf and men's tennis doubles. However, seven individuals have won national championships. All were in golf or track. The most recent of these came in 2003 when sprinter Marty Scales captured the NCAA Men's 100 meter sprint title.
The university recognizes two songs as its official songs, both simply titled Alma Mater and Fight Song. Several other songs are associated with the athletic department, such as the Tennessee Waltz, which is played at the end of any athletic event by the Band of Blue or pep band.
