NCAA championships

University athletic titles

NCAA championships are the annual tournaments and competitions that determine national collegiate champions in various sports across the United States.

The NCAA (National Collegiate Athletic Association) oversees championships in three divisions, with Division I events drawing the most attention.

March Madness—the Division I men's basketball tournament—is the most prominent, though championships span dozens of sports from football to fencing.
