In the United States, sport is a huge part of university life. Thousands of young athletes play for their college teams in competitions organised by the NCAA, the National Collegiate Athletic Association. The best players often receive a scholarship, so their studies are paid for. College football games can attract more than 100,000 fans, and in spring the basketball tournament called March Madness is followed by millions of people on TV. Student-athletes must train hard, but they must also attend classes and pass their exams. Some of them later become professional players.
