Nationally respected and competitive best describes the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WVIAC), the Mountain State's 14-team NCAA Division II league. Since its founding in 1925 by an act of the West Virginia Department of Education, WVIAC teams have enjoyed national success, being affiliated with the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA) until the end of the 1994-95 school year.
The Conference sponsors and conducts 18 championships for both men and women. The women's championships were added to the WVIAC in 1981. At that time the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Association (WVIAA), which had sponsored the women's championships until that time, was merged with the WVIAC by an act of the member college presidents.
