MIAA Centennial Moments: Day No. 1

To help celebrate the MIAA's centennial year, the conference will feature "100 days of memories" on the league website, where some of the greatest moments in MIAA history will be highlighted on each of those 100 days spread throughout the calendar year.

To kick things off, day one takes us back to how it all started in the MIAA.

1912: Original Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association formed -- Cape Girardeau State Teachers, Kirksville State Teachers, Maryville State Teachers, Springfield State Teachers, Warrensburg State Teachers, Central College, Central Wesleyan, Culver-Stockton, Drury, Missouri Valley, Missouri Wesleyan, Tarkio, Westminster, and William Jewell.

1924: The MIAA reorganized to include only the five regional state colleges -- Central, Northwest, Northeast, Southwest and Southeast. Sports included football, basketball, and outdoor track & field.

Three of the five charter members of the MIAA remain in the conference to this day: the University of Central Missouri, Northwest Missouri State University, and Truman State University (formerly Northeast Missouri State University).
