NCAA

NCAA stands for the National Collegiate Athletic Association. It is a nonprofit organization that regulates student-athletes from over 1,200 North American colleges and universities. The NCAA is responsible for overseeing the rules and standards for college sports, organizing championship events, and ensuring athletic eligibility among its member institutions. Its primary mission is to promote and maintain a level playing field in collegiate sports, ensuring fair competition and the well-being of student-athletes. The association is divided into three divisions—Division I, Division II, and Division III—each with its own set of rules, regulations, and scholarship opportunities. The NCAA also plays a critical role in protecting the rights and safety of student-athletes while promoting education, sportsmanship, and academic achievement.
