This documentation takes one unnamed parameter: the name, nickname, or common initialism of a university or college, and turns it into a wikilinked version of the university or college's name. It is most commonly used within Template:Player2, which is used to list players in basketball team rosters.
Examples
{{College|Alabama State}}→ Alabama State{{College|University of Michigan}}→ Michigan
For usage examples within a roster, using {{player2}}, see 1976–77 Buffalo Braves season#Roster or Template:Cleveland Cavaliers roster.
Unsupported college and university names
When the unnamed parameter value is not recognized by the template, the value is displayed without a wikilink. Example:
{{College|Foo State}}→ Foo State
A blank unnamed parameter will display an error message:
{{College|}}→ Error: Template:College requires a value
