The northeastern part of the US plays host to one of the most intense and highly recognized collegiate leagues. It is a unique conference that generates the best and most inspiring athletes with great national media and corporate exposure. It has also followed the destinies of black colleges and universities since 1912, making it the oldest African American league in the country.

CIAA is short for Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association, having 12 member schools in all located in North Carolina, Virginia, Maryland and Pennsylvania. The conference belongs to Division II NCAA. Some best things in college sports are being awaited for, especially in the upcoming CIAA 2017 schedule. There are are shows, sports events and celebrity guests for its loyal fans, and Bounce TV has recently signed up as a media partner.

It is perhaps the most unique and proud tradition related to freedom of education for African Americans and the drive for excellence in athletic sports. With major corporate sponsorships, the conference left its old home of Hampton, VA for Charlotte, NC in August 2015 where 8 of its members are located. It participates in 16 official sports in NCAA, 8 for men and another 8 for women.

The members are all historic and known for their sterling qualities, having fought courageous battles for the rights of students and the society of educated women and men. The membership list will include, Elizabeth City State U, Fayetteville S. U., Bowie and Chowan. They are joined by Lincoln, Johnson C. Smith University and Livingstone College.

Winston Salem State, Shaw University, Virginia State University, Virginia Union University, and Saint Augustine University complete the club. What with its unique history, the conference has gone through the uptimes and downtimes, but has always come out as a conference to watch out for, playing an NCAA division that is perhaps the most competitive. 2017, to reiterate, will be something of a banner year for the conference.

Many people have long seen this conference as a crown jewel in college sports, what with the exceptional value it brings. Since coming to Charlotte, the league has created a sort of sports renaissance for the city, playing host to exceptional visiting athletes, professional and amateur. There are also a great many celebrity appearances that brighten up event and celebrations.

For exceptional fan experience, learn about conference schedules this coming 2017. Many events are still to be determined, but for sure a lot of professional and college basketball games will be featured. Of course, Charlotte will host the tourney from February 20th to 25th.

Many visitors, numbering tens of thousands, are expected this year. This year had a record number of visitors, and the projections this year will probably set a new record as well. This has been part of the hard work among participating schools, organizers, players and fans that create the magical sports experience that has come to be recognized as unique to the city and conference.

There are several official venues for the games, as there are many events being projected. There are games schedules for a couple of other arenas as there is an overflow of events. The major arena is still at the home Center, which also hosts professional games in the city of Charlotte.
