Recent improvements in information technology have created the possibility for governments to try to build a "smart city" which would offer convenience to its residents and promote economic competitiveness. Similar technology could be brought to bear on the planning and construction of university campus buildings and equipment, potentially creating a well-integrated "smart campus" that could offer easy access to information and resources. The purpose of this paper is to conduct a literature review focusing on the development of the internet of things as it applies to sports/exercise facilities and programs on a smart college campus. Potential features might include the establishment of a convenient online registration system, cellphone APPs, wearable devices for personal fitness, the development of precise sports models and challenging team-style sports competitions, and the application of a smart sports information platform. This paper concludes that a cooperative, integrated industry-government-university relationship could leverage the rich educational resources that universities offer for talent development. In addition, the university's institutional research resources could analyze the big data from cloud databases, offering feedback as a reference to promote sports information and administrative strategies for a smart campus. This paper provides suggestions and strategies for follow-up planning. The efficacy of cooperative relationships as applied to smart campus development merits further research.
