Abstract: Abstract Before I discuss specific differences and similarities between types of major and minor sports and their historical growth and significance within American schools—colleges and universities—and then disputes about commercializing them, the following is an overview that highlights how intercollegiate athletics emerged and evolved among these institutions in the United States (U.S.) during the 1800s, 1900s, and 2000s. To that end, this section includes dates, events, and organizations that contributed in some way to individual and team sports played by male and female athletes enrolled primarily as undergraduate students in colleges and universities. These are exclusively Division I, II, and III schools who, in turn, are charter members of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA).1
