The following is a sports team nicknames for colleges (universities in non-U.S. English) in North America, primarily in the United States and Canada.
These are the general, collective nicknames that various colleges and universities' athletic teams compete under, grouped by a general theme before dividing into specific nicknames. For specific names of live or costumed mascots, see List of college mascots in the United States.
"Antelope" is a common term in North American English for the pronghorn, which is only distantly related to the true antelopes. All schools listed here derive their nicknames from the pronghorn.
Many of these schools have a bobcat as a mascot. "Wildcat" is a common name for that animal in North American English.
Note: "Mounties" can refer to either the geographic feature or, in Canada, the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. Mount Allison's nickname may possibly come from either source; U.S. schools would use the geographic feature.
