About National Collegiate Athletic Association

The National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA, often read "N-C-Double-A") is a voluntary association of about 1,281 institutions, conferences, organizations and individuals that organizes the athletic programs of many colleges and universities in the United States (and, potentially, Canadian universities as well). Its headquarters are located in Indianapolis, Indiana, and it is currently under the leadership of president Myles Brand. The NCAA is the largest collegiate athletic organization in the world, and because of the great popularity of college sports among spectators in the United States, it is far more prominent than most national college sports bodies in other countries.[citation needed]
