EspañolNATIONAL CHRISTIAN COLLEGE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION
(Redirected from NCCAA)
The 'National Christian College Athletic Association' ( 'NCCAA' ) is an association of approximately 100 Christian universities, colleges, and Bible colleges in the United States which see collegiate sports primarily as an opportunity for Christian fellowship and ministry rather than a training grounds for future professional athletes or an opportunity to make a profit for its member institutions.
The 'NCCAA' was formed in 1968, in part as a reaction against the perceived increasing corruption of "big time" college sports. Its purpose is to give Christian schools and universities, especially smaller ones, a chance to compete in an atmosphere of shared values, where the primary emphasis is on fair play and clean competition, not the win-at-any-cost philosophy that has come to dominate much of athletics. The NCCAA is not an exclusivist organization in that member institutions are also free to affiliate with the Association of Christian College Athletics and the much larger National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics and National Collegiate Athletic Association as well, and many have done so.
The 'NCCAA' currently consists of two divisions, Division I, which is predominantly four-year Christian liberal arts universities and colleges, and Division II, which is primarily Bible colleges and smaller four-year Christian colleges. The divisions are further subdivided into eight geographic regions.
The Victory Bowl is the championship football game between schools that sponsor football and are members of the NCCAA and did not qualify for either the NCAA or NAIA playoffs.
