The Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) is a collegiate athletics conference within NCAA Division II, coordinating competition among 14 member institutions in Arkansas, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. It aims to provide a balanced experience that combines academic challenge with high-level athletic competition and personal development for student-athletes. Based in Kansas City, Missouri, the conference traces its origins to 1912, making it one of the oldest in the NCAA Division II landscape. The MIAA serves its member institutions and their student-athletes, as well as fans and other stakeholders, by organizing competitions and recognizing academic achievement through awards and media initiatives. In recent years, it has expanded its media and partnerships, including the launch of the MIAA Network in 2025 and a partnership extension with BSN Sports in 2026. It is a small-to-mid-sized organization whose activities focus on athletics administration, competition, and student engagement within the higher education setting.
