This directory does not imply that every listed sport is an NCAA championship sport. Men's rugby is included but is not presented as an NCAA championship sport. Classifications of varsity, club, association-specific and other collegiate sporting opportunities vary, and where classifications are uncertain or changing they should be verified against official sources.
