What are the primary funding sources for U Sports?

• A. Corporate sponsorships
• B. Government and student fees
• C. Private donations
• D. Lottery revenues

Answer: (B)

The main idea being tested is how a national university sport body is funded. U Sports relies primarily on public support and member contributions. Government funding comes through federal and provincial sport programs that support amateur sport and national organizations, providing stable grants to run programs, develop athletes, and promote competition at the university level. The second major source is fees paid by member universities and their students, which help cover ongoing operations, memberships, and event costs that keep interuniversity competition running.

Other potential sources like corporate sponsorships, private donations, and lottery revenues do contribute to the ecosystem, but they are typically less reliable or substantial for sustaining core operations compared with government funding and mandatory member fees.
