BEHIND THE ROUND

A little more about this quiz

An interlocking set of letters can be harder than a mascot. This visual quiz uses fifty different college athletics programs, drawn from major US conferences. It includes logo marks associated with schools across several sports rather than restricting the game to a single season’s basketball roster.

Choose the school that owns the displayed mark. Some logos include letters or words, while others rely on an animal or symbol. Each answer names the full athletics program, and the source link identifies the exact image used. Team names and marks belong to their respective owners.
