      Methodology and sources →

      Each column shows points (0–100) and the underlying value. The number of teams under each competition is the league's own; for the USA and U SPORTS the teams-per-million column uses the national total of college teams. Values marked ≈ are estimates from public sources. “Not published” means the league does not publish the figure and scores 0 for that criterion.
