The purpose of this study was to investigate on-site the sports management system and the sports facilities on-site, the functionality of Department of Athletics and the sports organizations of North Carolina (NC) State University (North Carolina, USA) to establish an effective sport system structure in our university. The research period was 70 days in total, effective from the start date of research. The first research works were conducted at NC State University and Duke University, North Carolina, USA. Face-to-face interviews with officers about current sports systems of the universities and their sports organizations. Sports facilities of the universities have been surveyed on-site. After examining the sports systems and the sports structure of American universities, it was concluded that there are two separate sports structures for the students participating in recreational activities and the licensed athletes competing in university leagues. Education departments have been establishing certificate programs other than student training. As a result, it is seen that overseas universities have been setting up facilities for their students to do recreational activities. These universities are establishing facilities and departments for the recreational activities. Each of these universities has an athletic department that prepares sports teams for professional sport competitions. Universities are increasing their income with summer and winter schools. The mascot of the University creates another income stream by being placed on all university products sold.
