The California Collegiate Athletic Association (CCAA) is a collegiate athletic conference at the Division II level [1] of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). All of its current members are public universities, and upon UC San Diego's departure on July 1, 2020, all are members of the California State University system (two of them being Cal Polys).[2]
It was founded in December 1938 and began competition in 1939. The commissioner of the CCAA is Mitch Cox. CCAA offices are located in Chico, California.[3] The CCAA is the most successful conference in NCAA Division II, as its former and current members have won 155 National Championships. [4]
