The California Collegiate Athletic Association or CCAA is a collegiate athletic conference in the Division II level[1] of the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA). All of its current members are public universities, and all except for UC San Diego are members of the California State University system.[2]
It was founded in December 1938 and began competition in 1939. The commissioner of the CCAA is Mike Matthews. CCAA offices are located in Walnut Creek, California, which is also the city where the Pac-12 Conference headquarters are located.[3] The CCAA is the most successful conference in NCAA Division II, as its former and current members have won 152 National Championships.[4]
