History of NCAA Divisions

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) has a rich history that dates back to 1906. The organization was formed to promote fair play, safety, and sportsmanship in college athletics. Over the years, the NCAA has undergone several changes, including the creation of divisions to categorize schools based on their size and resources.

Why Divisions Were Created

The NCAA created divisions to create a level playing field for schools with similar resources and athletic programs. The divisions were designed to promote competitive balance and ensure that schools with similar characteristics competed against each other. The first divisional split occurred in 1956, when the NCAA divided schools into the University and College Divisions. In 1973, the NCAA further divided the College Division into Division II and Division III.
