I hate the term "Olympic Sports" when used in the context of college sports. Olympic Sports, to me, refers to sports whose biggest stage is the Olympics. Skiing, bobsledding, skating, gymnastics, track. Sports like basketball, baseball, and soccer are not Olympic Sports, or at least should not be. That is all.

Baseball is the only example that makes sense but it doesn't have enough interest to warrant a separate board so it gets lumped in here. Soccer is an Olympic sport in America (i.e. large scale interest only pops up when it's a major global competition). Basketball has it's own board so...
I mean I guess you could call it the "Other Sports" board but that doesn't seem any more flattering. You could go with "Non-revenue Sports" since that's what the term Olympic Sports is a euphemism for anyways.
