College athletics are governed by one of three organizations:

These governing bodies decide the rules and regulations that keep the various college sports and teams in line with what the organizations and their members determine are appropriate standards. The NCAA is the largest and best known of the three organizations. Regardless of which of the three organizations governs the school you decide to attend and play a sport at, it is critical that you understand and abide by the eligibility requirements for that organization.
