Nebraska-Iowa Athletic Conference

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nebraska-Iowa Athletic Conference (NIAC) was a NAIA-affiliated college athletics conference. It was founded in 1969 as the Nebraska Intercollegiate Athletic Conference.

The six charter members were Concordia University, Dana College, Doane College, Hastings College, Midland Lutheran College, and Nebraska Wesleyan University.

With the addition of Northwestern College of Iowa in 1992, the NIAC was renamed the Nebraska-Iowa Athletic Conference.

The NIAC was transformed into the Great Plains Athletic Conference (GPAC) in 2000 with the addition of Dakota Wesleyan University, Dordt College, Mount Marty College, and University of Sioux Falls. All former members of the NIAC remain affiliated with the GPAC.
