| rdfs:comment | - The National Collegiate Athletic Association is a league of athletic teams from colleges and universities. There are numerous schools that take part in NCAA events, including some famous ones:
* Stanford University
* University of Pittsburgh
* University of Michigan
* University of Tennessee
* Middle Tennessee State University
* Iowa State University
* University of Florida

- The NCAA divides member schools into several divisons, based on various scheduling criteria and scholarship requirements. Division I schools represent the highest level of competition and investment in college athletics. Division II is a less financially intensive division, with lower requirements for the number of sports offered and scholarships allowed. Division III schools offer no scholarships, and place special importance on the impact of athletics on the participants rather than on the spectators. (more to be added, note D III schools playing up to D I, scholarship debate, etc.)
- The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA, often pronounced "N-C-Double-A") is a voluntary association of about 1,200 institutions, conferences, organizations and individuals that organizes the athletic programs of many Colleges and universities in the United States and potentially beginning in 2008, Canadian universities. Its headquarters are located in Indianapolis, Indianapolis, and it is currently under the leadership of president Myles Brand. The NCAA is the largest collegiate athletic organization in the world, and because of the great popularity of college sports among spectators in the United States, it is far more prominent than most national college sports bodies in other countries.
- The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) is a voluntary association of 1,281 institutions, conferences, organizations and individuals that organizes the athletic programs of many colleges and universities in the United States and Canada. Its headquarters are located in Indianapolis, Indiana, and was under the leadership of president Myles Brand until his death on September 16, 2009 from pancreatic cancer.

Der Hauptsitz der NCAA liegt in Indianapolis, Indiana. Aufgrund der großen Zuschauerbeliebheit und der entsprechenden Vermarktung durch die Medien nimmt der Universitätssport in den USA einen weit höheren Stellenwert an, als dies in den meisten anderen Ländern der Welt der Fall ist. 1973 führte die NCAA in ihren Mitgliedsanstalten ein Drei-Divisionenmodell mit jeweils einer Division I, II und III, wobei nur Colleges der ersten beiden Einstufungen Stipendien für Sportler verleihen können. Im Normalfall gehören größere Universitäten der Division I an, während kleinere Schulen in den Divisionen II und III antreten.

Its headquarters are located in Indianapolis, Indiana, and was under the leadership of president Myles Brand until his death on September 16, 2009 from pancreatic cancer. In August 1973, the current three-division setup of Division I, Division II, and Division III was adopted by the NCAA membership in a special convention. Under NCAA rules, Division I and Division II schools can offer scholarships to athletes for playing a sport. Division III schools may not offer any athletic scholarships. Generally, larger schools compete in Division I and smaller schools in II and III. Division I football was further divided into I-A and I-AA in 1978. Subsequently the term "Division I-AAA" was added to delineate Division I schools which do not field a football program at all. In 2006, Divisions I-A and I-AA were respectively renamed the Football Bowl Subdivision (FBS) and Football Championship Subdivision (FCS).

Division III schools offer no scholarships, and place special importance on the impact of athletics on the participants rather than on the spectators. For college hockey, the NCAA has only two divisions, each with a men's and women's component:
* Men's Division I
* Women's Division I
* Men's Division III
* Women's Division III There is also a single Men's Division II conference, but that level of play is not supported by the NCAA and its members all play in Division III conferences as well. Beacuse of the regional nature of the sport of hockey, as well as the long and rich history of hockey at the collegiate level, the NCAA hockey structure is complex. (more to be added, note D III schools playing up to D I, scholarship debate, etc.)
