Good quiz, but the only problem is the ESPN does not stand for anything anymore, so it might be better to exclude it.

ESPN definitely stands for something still, its just not widely known or used at all.

First - check out this link: http://www.answers.com/topic/espn; which states that name of ESPN was shortened in 1985. So the official name is just ESPN. The name is no longer an acronym. Second - why do you have mostly leagues with only a couple specific terms listed? Expand on other terms or take them out completely.

NCAA = National Collegiate Athletics Association and ESPN = Eastern Sports Programming Network

but yes, ESPN is now simply ESPN. It started as Eastern Sports Programming Network because it was intended to cover collegiate athletics on the East coast, but obviously it has since grown national and international.
