The American Collegiate Athletic Association is an athletic conference which competes in the NCAA's Division III. The conference was formed in 2017 primarily by schools in the Northeastern United States, but also has members in Michigan, Kentucky, Wisconsin, and California.[1]

History

The ACAA was formally announced as a NCAA Division III conference in February 2017, with plans to start offering official conference championships in the 2017-18 academic year. Unofficial championships were held during the 2016-17 year.[2] Initial members were Alfred State College, Finlandia University, Mills College, State University of New York at Canton, State University of New York at Delhi, Pine Manor College, University of Maine at Presque Isle, and University of Valley Forge. Finlandia, Maine-Presque Isle, Mills, and Pine Manor were formerly members of the Great South Athletic Conference, which disbanded in 2016.

In November 2017, it was announced that SUNY Canton and UMPI departed the ACAA, effective July 1, 2018, and would join the North Atlantic Conference.[3]

In January 2018, it was announced that Mount Mary University of Wisconsin joined the ACAA, effective in the 2018-19 academic year. Mount Mary was formerly a NCAA Division III independent school.[4]

On February 16, 2018, Pratt Institute announced that the college joined the ACAA, effective in the 2018-19 academic year.[5] Pratt was a member of the Hudson Valley Intercollegiate Athletic Conference and the United States Collegiate Athletic Association.

On June 28, 2018, it was announced that Alfred State College will be leaving the ACAA, and will join the Allegheny Mountain Collegiate Conference, effective 2019-20.[6]

In July 2018, it was announced that Thomas More College, now known as Thomas More University, joined the ACAA effective immediately for the 2018-19 season. Thomas More was previously a full member of the Presidents' Athletic Conference. Thomas More will be re-joining the NAIA and joining the Mid South Conference beginning the fall of 2019.[7]

On November 30, 2018, SUNY Delhi, a North Atlantic Conference associate member in six sports (men's golf, men's lacrosse, men's and women's tennis, and men's and women's track & field), announced that it would leave the ACAA and become a full member of the NAC effective in the fall of 2019. At that time, five additional Delhi sports—men's and women's cross country, men's golf, men's and women's soccer, and women's volleyball—will begin NAC play. Three more sports—men's and women's basketball, plus softball—will remain in the ACAA until starting NAC play in 2020–21.[8]
