To further explain what I am talking about, I will reference the NBA. Most teams end in an "s", such as the Houston RocketS and the Detroit PistonS. However, three don't end in an "s": the Utah Jazz, the Orlando Magic, and the Miami Heat.
So, what are the NCAA teams that don't end in "s"? I heard there are 11 of them.
