Some Great Expectations Of CIAA 2017

By Jerry Clark


The northeast states of North Carolina, Maryland, Pennsylvania and Virginia are where one of the brightest collegiate conference operates. Generating much exposure for excellent athletes, it is a unique conference supported by media and major corporations. It is one with the destiny of African American higher education, having been founded in 1912 and the oldest conference of its kind.

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 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.
