China and the U.S. represent the east and the west of the world with the vast culture differences. Thus, the purpose of this study is to investigate the differences of collegiate sport systems between two different countries, to explain the potential reasons of why such differences occurred between two different cultures, and finally to make recommendations of how the research findings could help us to have a broad perspective when developing college sport programs.
