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 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.

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 great many people in the country have known it as a crown jewel in intercollegiate sports, having a unique and amazing value to sports. Since its transfer to Charlotte in North Carolina, a sports renaissance of sorts has come to blooming life in the city, gathering great numbers of excellent professional and amateur athletes in after event celebrations. Celebrities have thronged these events in record numbers, too.

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.

Tens of thousands of visitors are expected this year. There was a dramatic rise in the number of guests and fans last year and the coming year will probably register a new record. It has mostly been the work of conference organizers, member schools and players who have worked hard for the recognition as well as a truly memorable and enjoyable experience for everyone in attendance.

Some official venues are the Bojangles Coliseum and the Spectrum Center. The reason is that that there are so many are being planned for. Of course, the official arena for major functions will be the Charlotte Convention Center, located at 501 College Street in the city of Charlotte.
