College athletics refers to a set of physical activities comprising sports and games put into place by institutions of tertiary education (colleges in American English).
In the United States, college athletics are overseen by the National Collegiate Athletic Association and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics. College athletics has a high profile in the United States, and to a lesser extent in Canada, where it is known as Interuniversity Sport.
In most of the rest of the world the equivalent level of competition is only followed by competitors and their close friends and families.
