NCAA Division I Conferences (Napoleon's World)

The National Collegiate Athletic Association is the governing body of American amateur collegiate athletics, with its head offices in Springfield, IL. Division I is a title referring to a status as a large, major university competing at the highest level of amateur athletics. There is also a Division II, III, and IV.

Division I is divided into numerous conferences, which often realign or expand, although no conference realignment has occured since 1991 when the Atlantic Conference added Havana and Delaware.

Pacific Coast Conference (PCC)
The PCC is one of the older conferences in the country, although it has experienced numerous additions and subtractions over the years. It has held its current 12-team form since 1988, when UCLA, USC, UCSD and the University of Peninsula (U-Sula) returned after a 13-year stint in the Mountain League. Prior to the 1975 defection of four of the conference's anchor schools, it had been the same 12 team conference it is today, made possible by the 1964 defection of the University of Pacifica (U-Pac) and Pacifica State University (PacState) from the Mountain League to the 10-team Pacific Conference. The PCC name was created in 1988 with the formation of the championship game.

The PCC is one of several conferences that has two six-team divisions that play a conference championship game. The divisions are as follows:

Northwest Division Pacific Division
 * Pacifica Orcas
 * Pacifica State Ravens
 * Washington Huskies
 * Washington State Cougars
 * Oregon Ducks
 * Oregon State Beavers

Southern Conference
The Southern Conference followed the lead of the PCC in 1990 by adding Kentucky and Tennessee to the fold, expanding from the 10-team format they had held for nearly sixty years, and adding a conference championship game to be held in Covenant every year (due to Covenant's central location in the conference), although starting in 2004 the site switched back and forth between Dallas and Atlanta every year, similar to the PCC's method.

The Atlantic Conference is another twelve-team conference along the Atlantic Coast and in the Caribbean. The conference expanded in 1991 by adding the University of Havana and the University of Delaware to the fold, enabling them to stage a championship game and form divisions. Prior to this expansion, the conference had not expanded since forming in 1933.
