The school's sports teams are called the Cougars, and the team colors are green and white. CSU competes as a member of the Northeast Conference, which they joined in 2024. They previously competed as a Division I independent from 2022 to 2024. From 1994 until June 2006, CSU was a member of the Mid-Continent Conference, but withdrew and took independent status before joining the Great West Conference, in which it played from the 2008–09 through the 2012–13 seasons. Since the Great West Conference did not sponsor basketball during the 2008–09 season, the Cougars' men's and women's basketball teams played as independents that season. From 2013 to 2022, the Cougars competed in the Western Athletic Conference. Prior to gaining NCAA Division I status, the university enjoyed memberships in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) and NCAA Division II.
