ABOUT THe NCAC<br />
<strong>Ohio</strong> <strong>Wesleyan</strong> <strong>University</strong> is a charter member of the<br />
North Coast Athletic Conference, which began competition<br />
in the 1984-85 academic year. Other charter members<br />
are Allegheny College, Case Western Reserve <strong>University</strong>,<br />
Denison <strong>University</strong>, Kenyon College, Oberlin College<br />
and the College of Wooster. Wittenberg <strong>University</strong> joined<br />
the NCAC in 1988, Earlham College joined in 1988 and<br />
remains an affiliate member in field hockey, Hiram College<br />
and Wabash College joined the NCAC in 1998, and DePauw<br />
<strong>University</strong> joined the NCAC in <strong>2010</strong>.<br />
The NCAC’s 10 members believe academic and athletic<br />
excellence can co-exist, with no undue overemphasis<br />
on athletics. They also believe the principle of balance<br />
is important in athletic programs at the Division III level,<br />
with no “major” or “minor” sports in comparison with any<br />
other, but all equally worthwhile. Equity for both men’s<br />
and women’s sports is a founding and standard principle.<br />
The NCAC’s 22 championship sports includes <strong>11</strong> for men<br />
and <strong>11</strong> for women, the latter figure leading all Division III<br />
conferences in the country. When at least 5 Conference<br />
institutions sponsor a varsity sport, the NCAC conducts<br />
championship play and honors the champion.<br />
