This is a container category. Due to its scope, it should contain only subcategories.

U.S. college sports programs that encompass more than one sport. Categories about specific sports at specific colleges should go in one of the subcategories of this category.

• If a college has a "[BCD College nickname]" category, that category should be included in this parent category: "College sports teams in the United States by team". If the college also has a "[BCD College nickname]" page, that page should not be included in this parent category ("College sports teams in the United States by team"), because it is already in that college's "[BCD College nickname]" sub-category.
