About This Quiz
Everyone has their favorite college team. Whether you're loyal to your alma mater, your place of birth, or you just like the colors, once you've declared allegiance to a college team, you're unlikely to give it up.
Do you love college basketball? Football? Baseball? Perhaps you just love it all! If you can identify these fifty college logos, then you're off to a great start. However, the real question of this quiz is, do you know which conference all of these teams are in? The casual football fan might claim this is an easy task, but college teams change conferences constantly.
Do you remember the powerhouse Southwest Conference? Did your team move from the Big East to the ACC? And what the heck happened to the young Conference USA which at one time was a dominant basketball conference, until realignments shook up the mighty small schools? Where were you when the Big 8 and the SEC expanded? Did your school go with them? Did they head off to a conference where they could be the annual contender?
Are you a fan of the Big 10 or the Big West? This quiz will be as challenging as filling out your March Madness tournament this year. So, take a shot and see if how well you know your college sports teams!
