Some Great Expectations Of CIAA 2017

By Jerry Clark


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 stands for Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association, with members in Pennsylvania, North Carolina, Virginia and Maryland. There are 12 member schools in all, belonging to Division II of the NCAA. Great things are expected in upcoming CIAA 2017, with awaited schedules for sports events, shows and other unique events for its fanbase. It has recently partnered with Bounce TV, which has agreed to cover championships and major sporting events.

With a very unique tradition found on the freedom of African American to be educated, it has a great drive when it comes to collegiate sports. It has garnered new corporate sponsors and has left the old HQ for a newer one in Charlotte, NC in 2015. There are some eight campus locations in North Carolina, where students participate in a total of sixteen sports for both women and men.

The conference campuses all have histories in courage, determination and optimism for student rights as well as the rights of all educated people in the country. Elizabeth City State University, Bowie State University, Fayetteville University, and Chowan University are part of the members list. Lincoln University, Livingstone College and Johnson C. Smith are also members.

To round up the membership list are Saint Augustine, Shaw, Virginia State, Virginia Union University and Winston Salem State. The brand has had its ups and downs, and is perhaps one of the best competiors in an NCAA area that is probably the most competitive in the country. Again, some great developments are coming to the fore the conference in 2017.

A lot of people recognize the league as one of the crown jewels of collegiate games, bringing with it outstanding value. Ever since it transferred to North Carolina, it has given birth to something akin to a city renaissance, being the host of many great athletes in the professional and amateur leagues. Plus, a lot of people go to its events in the hopes of connecting with the many celebrities that appear during the after event celebrations.

Fans will have the most exceptional experiences with the schedules being created for the year 2017. These will feature college and professional games in basketball and other sports. Diehard fans will find Charlotte, the host city, an amazing venue for scheduled events in CIAA tournament 2017.

A lot of visitors are expected, probably in tens of thousands this coming year. Last year saw a great increase in visitors and guests for events, and many say that this year will be new record setter as well. This is the fruit of hard work among tournament organizers, players and member universities and colleges who are outstanding in making the sports experience exceptional for all.

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.
