CentOS 8 no longer ships ntp, it uses chronyd instead. Does the same job, different package.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

There's a small typo in Trevor's reply:
yum install chrony
This is for C7, but I think it is the same for C8:
