1922 by Mrs. C.W. Wantland, wife of long-time UCO football coach C.W. Wantland. The name was chosen from a number of suggestions for the name of UCO’s football team and became the nickname for all athletic teams at the school.

Mrs. Wantland was made an honorary member of the Letterman’s Club for selecting the nickname, becoming the first woman admitted to that organization. SchOOl cOlOrS

he rebuilding continues at Central Oklahoma and year two of the Nick Bobeck regime figures to be much better in 2013.

The second-year head coach faced a massive challenge in creating a new culture of expectations when he arrived on

campus in January of 2012 and success wasn’t expected overnight. And indeed there were many bumps in the road during last year’s 2-8 campaign as UCO debuted in the rugged Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.

But the Bronchos look to be drastically improved this fall and Bobeck is excited about the direction his team is headed.

‘‘We’re much, much better,” said Bobeck, the former UCO fullback who went 42-5 and won the 2010 junior college national championship during a stellar four-year stint at Navarro (Texas) College. ‘‘We’re still a young football team, but we have more kids we can hang our hat on and that we feel good about putting on the field.

‘‘Our depth is better and that’s creating more competition at several positions, which makes everybody better. And we’re a longer, heavier, stronger football team, which will enable us to be more physical.”

The Bronchos return 14 starters and 17 other lettermen from last year’s club in addition to bringing in another strong recruiting class that includes several highly-touted transfers. Youth will still be a factor, with 71 underclassmen listed on the 96-player pre-season roster, but the experience of having gone through a season of MIAA play should help.

‘‘Last year was an eye-opener for us,” Bobeck said. ‘‘I knew the league was going to be tough, but the most surprising thing was how many good teams there are and how depth plays such a big role.

‘‘Our lack of depth hurt us, especially at the end in a few close games. There was a marked differ-ence in how we finished games and that wasn’t a conditioning issue, it was a depth issue. It’s key in this league and is something we will continue to improve on.”

Here’s a position-by-position look at the Bronchos:

offenSeLINE: Three starters return up front, led by senior Cameron Pound

(6-2, 305). The versatile veteran saw action at all three positions last year, but will take over as the top center this season and should be one of the top blockers in the conference. Sophomore Alex Levescy (6-3, 300) will provide back-up help.

Sophomores Landon Chappell (6-2, 280) and Montana Poorboy (6-3, 310) saw significant starting duty last year and look to be the top guards, where both will benefit from the experience gained. Redshirt freshman Mason McLaughlin (6-3, 250) will help out, with some highly-regarded freshmen also expected to add depth.

A quartet of players are vying for the tackle slots, though sophomore letterman Brock Enmeier (6-4, 310) is the lone one to have seen any action for the Bronchos. Sophomore Denton Simek (6-6, 280) is a Division I transfer who could have a huge impact, while redshirt fresh-men Ronson Calfy (6-7, 280) and Micah Goodman (6-4, 285) are raw talents with great potential.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘We have much better depth, but we’re still very, very young. We feel much better about the position than we did last fall. We signed a great class and some of those guys could compete this fall, and there are several guys back who saw a lot of playing time last year.”

RECEIVER: The Bronchos feature several experienced players along with a high-profile newcomer and appear in excellent shape with the re-ceiving corps.

Junior Christian Hood (5-11, 185) leads the returners after topping the team in both catches (47) and yards (573) last year, with this savvy veteran capable of becoming the school’s all-time leading receiver. Sophomore Sam Johnson (6-3, 195) had 23 receptions for 237 yards as a rookie while starting every game and should be much improved.

Looking the make a huge impact here is junior Marquez Clark (5-11, 190), whose ability to stretch a defense should benefit the entire

offense. Clark sat out last year after catching 98 passes for an NJCAA-record 1,639 yards as a sophomore All-American

at Navarro in 2011.UCO also returns two other lettermen in senior Leroy Travis (6-2, 190) and sophomore Caden

Locke (6-0, 185), with redshirt freshman Isaac Whitney (6-3, 190) also expected to contribute along with some incoming freshmen.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘This is one of our most talented positions. We have a number of talented kids and believe we have great depth. Once we catch the ball in space we have the opportunity to do something with it and that’s what we lacked last

year. I feel really good about this group and they’re still young, so their best years

are ahead.”

TIGHT END/H-BACK: A crucial position as a blocker and receiver, with UCO returning

two -- and maybe three -- players from last year.Seniors C.J. Carson (6-4, 220) and Ster-

ling Koons (6-1, 240) both played here extensively last year and are the favorites

to see most of the action again, though sophomore Kyle Aschenbrenner (6-5, 240) will also be used if he can return from injury.

Sophomore letterman Benjamin Morrell (6-2, 220) and redshirt freshman Connor Pul-

ley (6-4, 215) can also help out.Bobeck Says: ‘‘It’s a versatile position and you’ve got to do a lot of

things here. Losing Aschenbrenner hurts, but we’ve got some guys who have the ability to step in and do the job.”

RUNNING BACK: The Bronchos have plenty of options here, but Joshua Birmingham (5-9, 205) remains the main man.

The record-breaking senior star should contend for the Harlon Hill Trophy that goes to the Division II Player of the Year and can take it the distance every time he touches the ball. Birmingham rushed for 1,073 yards and 13 touchdowns last season while adding 27 catches for 271 yards and will get plenty of chances to show off his skills this season.

Senior letterman Christian Bobo (5-11, 230) showed plenty of ability last year in running for 292 yards and four TDs and he should see an expanded role on the offense this fall.

Redshirt freshman Donovan Roberts (6-0, 210) came to UCO at the semester break and is a talented player capable of helping.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘This may be the most talented position on our football team. Birmingham is our best football player and he may be the best player in Division II. We’re looking for big things from him again. Bobo is a good player and we added some guys at the semester who were impressive in the spring. We’re excited about all of these guys.”

SeaSon outlook QUARTERBACK: Another position that features a returning starter

along with what appears to be superb depth.Senior Adrian Nelson (6-4, 230) stepped in as a junior college transfer

and started all last season, hitting 156-of-305 passes for 1,777 yards and nine touchdowns while adding 244 yards and a TD rushing. The left-hander remains the clear front-runner, though junior Dylan Swartz (6-3, 210) and redshirt freshman T.J. Eckert (6-0, 190) are pushing the issue.

Several incoming freshman will provide additional depth.Bobeck Says: ‘‘We had a great spring at this position and the kids really

improved. Nelson will be hard to unseat, but it’s not a given. He had a good, quality spring and operated things well. Eckert and Schwartz both did good things and we’ve got two real talented freshmen coming in as well. We feel good about the position.”

DefenSeLINE: UCO has a mix of experi-

enced and unproven players to plug into the defensive front and promises to be much better on the first line of defense.

Spearheading the group is junior end Tyler Newton (6-4, 260), a two-year starter who figures to be one of the top defenders in the league after making 42 tackles with 5.0 for loss last season.

Junior Ashton Dandy (6-3, 245) has the ability to be a prime pass-rushing threat at the other end spot after seeing time at end and linebacker last year in finishing with 31 tackles and 2.0 sacks

Sophomore newcomer Adrian Mack (6-4, 265) and redshirt freshman Sam Barlass (6-0, 235) also look to be factors at end

Sophomore letterman Kenny Allen (6-2, 285) had 30 tackles with 6.5 for loss last season and leads the way on the interior, with redshirt freshman Deontay Wilson (6-2, 290) and sophomore Rezahn Clayton (6-2, 285) both expected to have an impact.

Several newcomers will also contend for playing time.Bobeck Says: ‘‘We’ve got some really good, talented

players on the d-line. Newton and Allen are back and they give us a strong base. Clayton and Wilson are going to be on the interior and Adrian Mack is a big, raw kid who we think can be an exceptional player. Those five guys are the core and we’ll have some new guys who will also help.”

LINEBACKER: Another position where a mixture of old and new will combine to make the Bronchos much better.

Three players are back with starting experience, with senior Adrian Shoecraft (5-11, 235) leading that group. He had 54 tackles in 2012 despite missing two games to injury and is a proven veteran who should be even more effective this season with a move to the middle.

Junior Mike Harris (6-2, 230) switched to linebacker after starting the season at end and ended with 38 tackles and an interception, while sophomore Tanner Koons (6-2, 225) had 30 tackles in starting the first five games before going out with injury. Both will be better this fall and look to be defensive mainstays.

Redshirt freshmen Garrett Baker (6-1, 220) and Jas’sen Stoner (6-0, 205) will help out and sophomore Jason Frimpong (5-11, 220) is a Divi-sion I transfer expected to shine. Several other newcomers, led by junior Marceice Jackson (6-3, 245), are also expected to step in and contribute.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘We made the biggest improvement on our football team at this position. The most difficult thing to do in football is tackle

one-on-one in space and we’re better at that. We moved some guys around, which will really help us, and we have some good experience here. We added some new players who can help and we’ve improved a whole bunch at this position.”

SECONDARY: Probably the most experienced area of the defense, with six players back who saw significant playing time last season.

Three safeties return in seniors Devoris Dozier (5-10, 185) and Dante’ Lipscomb (6-0, 185) and junior Thomas Hill (5-11, 205). Dozier was the team’s leading tackler last year with 77 total stops, while Hill had 33 tackles despite missing half the season to injury and Lipscomb 19 tackles.

Dozier will again be the top free safety with help from converted running back and sophomore letterman Chase Talbert (5-11,

200), while Hill and Lipscomb battle it out at strong safety.Senior Antonio Jenkins (5-9, 170) and juniors Levonte Douglas (5-9, 175) and Jarrett Tryon (6-1, 190) all return at cornerback and each started at least two games in 2012. Jenkins led that group with 42 tackles and four passes broken up, while Douglas had 31 tackles and an interception and Tryon 25 tackles.

Redshirt freshman Rico Hogan (5-11, 168) will also help out at cornerback, with junior transfer

Mike Roberts (6-1, 198) expected to contribute im-mediately at a safety spot. Other newcomers will also vie for playing time.

Bobeck Says: ‘I feel much better about the second-ary than I did last year because of our depth. We’re still not there, but we’ve got some kids who have played a lot of snaps. Douglas and Jenkins are really consistent, always in the right spot and always doing the right things,

and Tryon is as talented a kid as we have back there. We’ve got three guys who played a bunch

at safety in Hill and Dozier and Lipscomb and Hill is probably the ringleader of the whole secondary. There’s some others who can help.

We’re excited about the position and feel a lot better about it.”

SPecial teamSWho will handle the punting and place-kicking chores is unknown,

but UCO could showcase one of the top return games in the country.There will be open competition for the punting position in the pre-

season, with redshirt freshman transfer Seth Hiddink (6-4, 215) and sophomore letterman Easton Ramsey (6-1, 170) expected to battle for the placement duties.

The Bronchos are in excellent shape in returns with the presence of two home run threats in senior Joshua Birmingham (5-9, 205) and Marquez Clark (5-11, 190).

Birmingham averaged 28.3 yards a kickoff return with an 83-yard touchdown last year, while Clark netted 26.1 yards on kickoffs and an uncanny 20.3 yards on punts in junior college.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘Punter is a position of much apprehension and something we’re going to have to figure out quickly. We’ve got good competition at kicker and I think we’re really in good shape on returns. Birmingham and Clark are special players and we want the ball in their hands as much as possible. Our coverage teams will be much improved because we’re better athletically.”

GAME 1 Missouri Southern 25Central Oklahoma 20

EDMOND, Okla. (Aug. 30) – A fourth quarter surge fell short and Central Oklahoma came up empty in its Mid-America Intercol-legiate Athletics Association debut under new head coach Nick Bobeck Thursday night at Wantland Stadium.

The Bronchos scored twice in the final nine minutes to rally from a 25-7 deficit to within 25-20, but the Lions converted a big fourth-down gamble with less than two minutes to play and held on for the win in the first-ever meeting between the two new conference rivals.

Adrian Nelson’s 49-yard touchdown pass with 8:40 left to play and Joshua Birming-ham’s one-yard scoring plunge at the 2:12 mark enabled UCO to get close, with the Bron-chos then forcing MSSU into a fourth-and-one at its own 44-yard-line with 2:00 remaining.

The Lions went for it and quarterback Kel-len Cox squeezed out two yards on a keeper to convert the first down and clinch the win.

The Bronchos were limited to 249 total yards (148 passing, 101 rushing) and managed just 56 yards in 29 plays over nine possessions from the first quarter until early in the fourth.

Birmingham finished with 83 yards and a TD on 19 carries, while Nelson completed 14-of-26 passes for 148 yards and a score while adding 24 rushing yards. Christian Hood led the receivers with five catches for 42 yards.

The Lions racked up 249 of their 298 yards on the ground with a ball-control option offense and owned a staggering 19-minute advantage in time of possession.

Linebacker Adrian Shoecraft had nine tackles and defensive backs Brad Harmon and Devoris Dozier eight each.

GAME 2Pittsburg State 34Central Oklahoma 19

PITTSBURG, Kan. (Sept. 8) – Central Oklahoma gave top-ranked Pittsburg State plenty of anxious moments before dropping a 34-19 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Associa-tion decision.

The Bronchos never backed down from the defending national champions who were playing their home opener, dominating the third quarter in rallying within 24-12 after trailing 17-0 early and 24-7 at halftime.

UCO limited the high-powered PSU attack to minus-17 yards in the third stanza, with the defense scoring two points on a safety when a fumble went out of the end zone while the offense managed just three points on two drives deep in Gorilla territory.

The Bronchos failed on a fourth-and-one run at the PSU 20 and settled for a field goal after another possession stalled at the two.

That made it 24-12 and got UCO back in the game, but PSU regained breathing room when it opened the final period with a quick-strike touch-down drive to go up 31-12 with 11:07 left to play.

The Bronchos responded, going 72 yards in seven plays to again draw within 12 points. Adrian Nelson passes of 16 and 27 yards to Dan-iel Morrell powered that drive before Joshua Birmingham capped it with a four-yard run on a quick pitch-out around the right side.

That made it 31-19 with 7:19 remaining and the Gorillas came back with a field goal drive to go ahead 34-19 at 2:29 and finally seal the win.

UCO finished with 336 yards, getting 122 rushing from Birmingham in 19 attempts and 191 on 18-of-35 passing from Nelson. Defensive tackle Sam Moses had eight tackles with a sack.

GAME 3Emporia State 42Central Oklahoma 14

EMPORIA, Kan. (Sept. 15) – Missed op-portunities, turnovers and a potent opponent formed a combination that was simply too much for Central Oklahoma to overcome.

The Bronchos failed to turn eight possessions inside Emporia State territory into points – four of those because of turnovers – and gave up 538 yards to the unbeaten Hornets in dropping a 42-14 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association decision at Welch Field.

UCO hurt itself with mistakes early in falling behind 21-0 and continued to do so while trying to stay in the game in the second half.

The Bronchos finished with three intercep-tions and two lost fumbles in addition to missing an extra point, having a field goal blocked and failing on two fourth down tries on ESU’s side of the field.

ESU passed for 310 yards and four touch-downs in outgaining the Bronchos 538-340.

Adrian Nelson was 22-of-44 passing for 231 yards for UCO, but he also had three intercep-tions. Daniel Morrell caught six passes for 103 yards and Joshua Birmingham added 71 yards rushing in 19 attempts.

UCO fell behind 14-0 early, but was looking to answer after moving to a first-and-goal at the ESU nine before Nelson was intercepted in the end zone.

The Hornets promptly went 80 yards in nine plays to go up 21-0 before Birmingham ignited the Bronchos with a 64-yard kickoff return that carried to the Emporia 29.

Nelson capped the short touchdown march with an eight-yard strike to Morrell with 10:41 left in the second quarter, but UCO missed the extra point and trailed 21-6.

GAME 4Central Oklahoma 35Washburn 20

EDMOND (Sept. 22) – A cross-country touchdown pass and short interception return sparked Central Oklahoma to an historic victory at Wantland Stadium.

Adrian Nelson heaved a 92-yard TD pass to Marquis Walters and defensive end Colton Byford rumbled 25 yards with an interception six minutes later to ignite a 29-point second-half outburst that carried the Bronchos to a big 35-20 upset of No. 9-ranked Washburn 35-20.

It was UCO’s first win of the season and also the first for rookie head coach Nick Bobeck as UCO claimed its initial Mid-America Intercol-legiate Athletics Association victory.

And this against a returning NCAA Division II playoff team that entered the game 3-0.

Things were going WU’s way when the Ichabods followed a touchdown pass in the final seconds of the first half with a TD on their open-ing possession of the third quarter to go ahead 14-6 and it appeared even worse for UCO when it faced a third-and-long situation from its own eight-yard-line a minute later.

That’s when Nelson dropped back near the goal line and fired a long pass to Walters streak-ing down the sideline. The redshirt freshman gathered in the pass at midfield and stepped through a pair of tackles before streaking in for the 92-yard score that marked the third-longest TD pass in school history.

The Bronchos still trailed 14-12 after fail-ing on the two-point conversion try, but that changed six minutes later when Byford picked off a swing pass at the 25 and fought his way into the end zone. Nelson found C.J. Carson with the two-point conversion pass and UCO

was on top 20-14.Christian Bobo added a one-yard TD plunge

and Joshua Birmingham an eight-yard scoring scamper in the fourth quarter to push the lead to 35-14 as UCO’s offensive line took over the line of scrimmage, with the Ichabods scoring a consolation TD in the final minutes.

UCO had its best offensive outing of the season, finishing with 387 yards. Nelson ended up 14-of-29 passing for 218 yards, while Bir-mingham ended up with 137 yards rushing on 22 carries and Christian Hood caught five passes for 79 yards.

The Ichabods managed just 46 yards on 29 rushes against a fierce UCO defense.

Brad Harmon led the Bronchos with eight tackles and an interception, while Devoris Doz-ier added eight tackles and Turner Troup seven.

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (Sept. 29) – No. 7-ranked Missouri Western scored two touch-downs in the final minute after turning back Central Oklahoma’s gritty fourth-quarter rally and handed the Bronchos a 45-23 setback.

UCO trailed 31-7 early in the final period before reeling off 16 unanswered points to pull within 31-23 with 1:35 remaining, but the Griffons scored on a 30-yard fourth-down touchdown run and 42-yard interception return to arrange a deceiving final score.

The Bronchos finished with 345 yards, with 240 of that coming in the second half. Adrian Nelson completed 25-of-45 passes for 244 yards and a touchdown, while Joshua Bir-mingham rushed for 80 yards and two scores on 18 carries in addition to catching six passes for 53 yards.

The Griffons ended up with 467 yards, in-cluding 243 rushing. Devoris Dozier had 10 tackles and Jarrett Tryon eight to help lead the defense.

UCO appeared out of the game after falling behind 31-7 early in the fourth quarter, but Dozier forced and recovered a fumble at the Broncho 44 to ignite the comeback.

Nelson had completions of nine, 10 and 15 yards in an eight-play 46-yard drive that also saw Christian Bobo rumble for 17 yards to the MWSU five before Birmingham scored two plays later on a four-yard dash through the left side.

Nelson found Leroy Travis with the two-point conversion pass to pull UCO within 31-16 with 6:31 left to play.

But the Griffons sealed it with two touch-downs in the final minute, breaking loose for a 30-yard TD run on a fourth-and-one play and then scoring on a 42-yard interception return with just two seconds remaining.

The Bearcats threw 61-yard touchdown passes on their first two possessions to take a 14-0 lead just two minutes into the game, were up 35-0 at halftime and added long in-terception and kickoff return TDs in a 35-point second half to hand UCO its worst loss since a 99-0 defeat to Oklahoma in 1917.

The Bearcats racked up 466 yards in just 53 plays, averaging 8.8 yards a snap.

WARRENSBURG, Mo. (Oct. 14) – Weather issues that forced an overnight delay did Central Oklahoma no favors and the Bronchos ended up dropping a 47-17 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association decision to Central Mis-souri.

UCO owned a 10-6 lead and appeared to have all the momentum when the game was halted at the end of the first quarter early Saturday evening after a series of stoppages due to lightning, but the tide turned when play resumed on Sunday.

The Mules used a fumble recovery deep in their own territory to stop the Bronchos on the first possession after play resumed and then scored 17 unanswered points to take a 23-10 lead before Joshua Birmingham gave UCO hope with an electrifying 73-yard touchdown recep-tion on the final play of the half to make it 23-17.

UCM dominated the second half, however, outscoring the Bronchos 24-0.

The Mules finished with 552 total yards, pass-ing for 338 and rushing for 214.

The Bronchos ended with 364 yards, but man-

GAME 8Central Oklahoma 56 Lincoln 25

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (Oct. 27) – Joshua Birmingham was virtually unstoppable any time he touched the ball and Central Oklahoma overwhelmed Lincoln 56-25 in a Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association mismatch.

The Bronchos had eight plays of 25-plus yards and racked up 585 total yards -- the third-best performance in school history – in rolling to the easy win that snapped a 15-game road losing streak dating back to 2009.

Birmingham sparked the offensive onslaught, scoring five touchdowns while setting a single-game school record with an amazing 395 all-purpose yards.

The junior star had scoring runs of five, 10, 57 and 65 yards en route to finishing with 272 yards on 20 carries -- the second-best rushing game at UCO -- in addition to scoring on an 83-yard kick-off return and catching three passes for 40 yards.

The defense did its part, forcing LU to punt on its first eight possessions of the game and al-lowing just 119 first-half yards as UCO zipped to a 28-0 lead en route to taking a big 35-12

GAME 9Southwest Baptist 26Central Oklahoma 14

EDMOND (Nov. 3) – Central Oklahoma may be the least penalized team in the 15-team Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association, but it was a slew of key infractions that proved costly Saturday in a 26-14 Homecoming loss to Southwest Baptist at Wantland Stadium.

The Bronchos were flagged 10 times for 106 yards in the contest, with a personal foul call negating a second-half fumble UCO recovered and two penalties aiding a late drive that led to SBU’s clinching score.

The Bearcats wrapped up the win on a nine-yard touchdown pass off a fake field goal with 1:14 left to play.

The Bronchos used 96- and 98-yard touch-down drives to overcome a 10-0 second-quarter deficit and take a 14-10 lead into the final period, but SBU scored 16 unanswered points in the final 12 minutes to earn the win.

A 22-yard field goal with 11:24 left pulled the Bearcats within 14-13 and SBU went ahead 20-14 on a 74-yard TD dash at the 7:18 mark.

A 15-yard penalty on a punt helped set the Bearcats up at their own 47 minutes later, with another flag giving SBU a first down at the 12 after the drive appeared to stall.

Three running plays netted three yards and the Bearcats lined up for what would have been a 29-yard field goal, but instead went for the fake and threw a 12-yard TD pass to clinch the win.

Joshua Birmingham had another big day to lead the UCO offense, rushing for 171 yards and one TD on a career-high 29 carries as the Bronchos rushed for 230 of their 410 total yards.

EDMOND (Nov. 10) – A lengthy fourth-quarter scoring drive gave Northeastern State the late lead and Central Oklahoma couldn’t answer back in dropping a 22-20 season-end-ing decision at wind-blown Wantland Stadium.

The RiverHawks had two big fourth-down conversions in a 20-play, 83-yard drive that ate up 8:46 of the clock and was capped by a 21-yard field goal with 1:53 remaining.

The Bronchos had a chance after taking over at their own 43-yard line following the kickoff, but UCO turned the ball over on downs at the NSU 39 with 50 seconds left.

The Bronchos jumped out to a 14-0 second-quarter lead only to see NSU pull within 14-13 by intermission and then go ahead 19-14 early in the third period.

UCO came back with a long touchdown pass from Adrian Nelson to Christian Hood with 13:53 left to play to take a 20-19 lead and it stayed that way until NSU’s late scoring march.

QuarterfInaLSKINGSVILLE, Texas -- Texas A&M-Kingsville

took control early and went on to rout injury-riddled Central Oklahoma 49-6 in the quarterfinals of the 2003 playoffs.

The Lone Star Conference champion Javelinas scored on their first three possessions of the game in taking an 18-0 first-quarter lead and went ahead 32-0 by halftime as the Bronchos threw three interceptions.

TAMUK, which won its 11th straight game in moving into the semifinals, eventually built its lead to 49-0 before UCO avoided the shutout on a one-yard Erick Johnson touchdown run midway through the fourth quarter.

The Bronchos finished the year 9-3.Game in Figures

Central Oklahoma is in its second year as a member of the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association.

The MIAA, a 15-member conference of NCAA Division II insti-tutions in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma, was first or-ganized in 1912 as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

Over the past 100 years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of be-ing one of the top NCAA Division II conferences in the nation. MIAA schools have won 15 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, over 160 individual national titles.

The MIAA currently conducts champi-onships in eight sports for men and nine for women.

For the men, champions are crowned in football, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, baseball, tennis and golf.

The women compete for titles in vol-leyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, softball, golf and tennis.

The MIAA turned a new page on July 1, 1992, when the NCAA Division II confer-ence changed its name from the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics As-sociation.

The decision to make the change origi-nated in 1989, when Pittsburg State and Washburn became the first schools outside the state of Missouri to gain membership in the MIAA.

The conference was first organized in 1912 with 14 member institu-tions. Of those original members, Central Missouri, Truman State and Northwest Missouri State still remain a part of the MIAA.

The first change in membership came in 1924, when the MIAA reorganized to include only the five regional Missouri state colleges: Central Missouri, Truman (at the time known as Northeast Missouri

The Mid-AMericA inTercollegiATe AThleTics AssociATion State), Northwest Missouri, Southeast Missouri State and Southwest Mis-souri State (now Missouri State).

Over the next 56 years, three schools joined the membership: Missouri School of Mines (later Missouri-Rolla) in 1935, Lincoln in 1970 and the Missouri-St. Louis in 1980.

Ken Jones became the first full-time commissioner of the MIAA in 1981 and would be in the position for 16 years, retiring in 1997. Ralph McFillen succeeded Jones, serving 10 years before his retirement in 2007.

Jim Johnson succeeded McFillen in July of that year and served as commissioner until Sep-tember of 2010, when Dr. Bob Boerigter took over.

Southwest Baptist brought membership back to eight schools in 1986, before the major ex-pansion of the conference in 1989. Pittsburg State, Washburn, Missouri Southern and Mis-souri Western began competition in the 1989-90 season.

Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA fol-lowing the 1990-91 season and was replaced by Emporia State in the 1991-92 season.

Missouri-St. Louis departed the MIAA in 1996, Missouri-Rolla left in 2005 and Lincoln forfeited its membership in 1999. Fort Hays State joined the MIAA in 2006, NebraskaOma-ha entered the league in 2008 and Lincoln re-joined the conference in 2010.

On July 29, 2010, the MIAA CEO Council voted to extend invitations to UCO and Northeastern State to become members of the league and on Sept. 24, 2010 it voted to extend invitations to Nebraska-Kearney and Lindenwood.

Nebraska-Omaha left the league in 2011 and Truman State did the same last year, which left the conference with 14 schools. Truman will remain an MIAA associate member in wrestling, with Newman joining the MIAA in that capacity.
