NCAA

The NCAA, or National Collegiate Athletic Association, is a non-profit organization in the United States that regulates student-athletes from over 1,200 institutions, conferences, and organizations. Founded in 1906, its primary purpose is to oversee and promote college athletics while ensuring fair competition, academic integrity, and the well-being of student-athletes. The NCAA sets rules and standards for various sports, organizes national championships, and establishes eligibility requirements for student-athletes participating in collegiate competitions. It is divided into three main divisions (Division I, Division II, and Division III), each with its own set of regulations and levels of competition. The NCAA plays a significant role in shaping the landscape of college sports in America.
