MICHIGAN INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC ASSOCIATION

The Michigan Intercollegiate Athletic Association (MIAA) isAmerica’s oldest collegiate athletic conference.

The 2009-10 school year marks the 123rd consecutive yearof operation for the NCAA Division III affiliated conference. TheMIAA was founded March 24, 1888. From the very beginning, theMIAA has conducted full-season championships in multiple sports.There have been changes in some of the sports (bicycle racingand Indian club juggling have long since disappeared, andbasketball did not even exist in 1888), but these changes haveserved to develop the MIAA into one of America’s finest NCAADivision III conferences, today offering 18 sports for men andwomen.

The MIAA’s continuity is noteworthy. Of the 12 schools thathave had full membership, eight are still members — Adrian,Albion, Alma, Calvin, Hope, Kalamazoo, Olivet, and Saint Mary’s.Significantly, not one of these eight colleges has ever belongedto any other formal league. Albion and Olivet were chartermembers although Albion is the only member to hold continuousmembership. Ex-members are Michigan State University (1888-1907), Eastern Michigan University (1892-1926), Hillsdale College(1888-1960), and Defiance College (1997-2000).

The MIAA’s membership list went unchanged from 1960 until1997 when the Defiance College of Ohio and Saint Mary’s Collegeof Indiana were invited to join. It also marked the first time thatthe league added members outside the state of Michigan. Theleague stipulated, however, that the name of the conference wouldnot change. The inaugural year of current members are: Adrian(1908), Albion (1888), Alma (1902), Calvin (1953), Hope (1926),Kalamazoo (1896), Olivet (1888), and Saint Mary’s (1997).

The MIAA marked a historic note in 2002 when the leagueaccepted Wisconsin Lutheran College of Milwaukee as anassociate member for the purpose of competing in football.Wisconsin Lutheran left the MIAA after the 2007 season to jointhe Northern Athletics Conference.

Trine University of Angola, Ind., became a conferencemember in 2004-05 upon its acceptance as a provisional NCAAmember.
