Providing Balanced Athletic
Programs for Today’s Student-Athletes
Throughout its history, the National
Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA)
has provided strong leadership for all aspects
of intercollegiate sports. Since its introduction
of intercollegiate championship basketball in
1937, the NAIA has maintained the highest
standards while administering Þ rst-rate athletic
programs.
Time and time again, the NAIA has stepped
forward to address the important issues of
the day - be it racial integration in the 1940s
and 1950s or establishing the Þ rst women’s
championship program in 1980. The NAIA has
not been afraid to enact changes while others
have watched and waited.
In the past decade, presidents of the NAIA
colleges and universities have assumed a
position of responsible leadership. The NAIA’s
Council of Presidents, the organization’s primary
governing body, is comprised of 32 college and
university presidents from all regions of the
United States.
During the 1990s, the waves of change once
again washed over the NAIA. The membership
voted to institute affi liated conference and
regional groupings and discontinued the use
of district play as a means of qualiÞ cation
for national championships, marking the Þ rst
time since the NAIA’s creation that district
competition would not be used.
Since 1937, the NAIA has adminisistered
athletic programs and championships in proper
balance with the overall collegiate educational
experience. Serving higher education in this
manner is a responsibility the NAIA does not
take lightly.
The Appalachian Athletic Conference
(AAC) is a 10-member conference sanctioned
by the National Association of Intercollegiate
Athletics (NAIA). The league has members in
Georgia, Kentucky, North Carolina, Tennessee
and Virginia.
The AAC participates in Division II in men’s
and women’s basketball and sponsors six men’s
sports and six women’s sports. For men, the
conference offers championships in: baseball,
basketball, cross country, golf, soccer and
tennis. For women, championships are awarded
in: basketball, cross country, soccer, softball,
tennis and volleyball.
In May of 2003, the AAC selected John
Sullivan as its Þ rst-ever Commissioner. Prior to
taking the post, Sullivan served as Montreat
College’s athletic director for six years and
was named AAC and NAIA Region XII Athletic
Director of the Year in 2000.
