University athletic programs
College sports are athletic competitions between teams representing universities and colleges, particularly prominent in the United States.
The term usually refers to high-profile revenue sports—especially football and basketball—where student athletes compete before large crowds and national television audiences.
College sports generate billions in revenue while players historically received no direct pay.
The NCAA governs most college sports, though recent changes allow athletes to profit from their name and likeness.
