United States Collegiate Athletic Association History
In 1966 (60 years ago) (1966 ) , the USCAA was founded as the National Little College Athletic Association (NLCAA), primarily to sponsor a national basketball tournament for small colleges and junior colleges.[ 2]
In the 1970s and through the 1980s, as the NLCAA, the USCAA began adding more sports.[ 2]
In 1989, the NLCAA changed its name to the National Small College Athletic Association (NSCAA).[ 2]
In 2001, the USCAA adopted its current name.[ 2]

Postseason national championships are held in all sports except football, which has few participating teams.[ 1]
