The Fresno Pacific University Sunbirds (logo at left) and eleven other teams have joined the National Christian College Athletic Association. With the arrival of this deadly dozen the NCCAA now boasts one hundred fourteen institutions.
The NCCAA is one of the divisions of college sports that Balladeer’s Blog has been covering for roughly two years. College football is starting soon and the Victory Bowl will once again be the championship game of this underappreciated division come the end of the year.
Here’s the complete list of those twelve teams in descending order of nickname coolness: 1. Southern Nazarene University Crimson Storm ### 2. Fresno Pacific University Sunbirds ### 3. McMurry University Warhawks ### 4. Morthland College Patriots ### 5. Bob Jones University Bruins ### 6. Shorter University Hawks ### 7. The King’s College (NY) Lions ### 8. Columbia International University Rams ### 9. Barclay College Bears ### 10. Union University (TN) Bulldogs ### 11. Oklahoma Christian University Eagles ### 12. Trinity Bible College Eagles

Why does that logo look like something out of Egypt???
Sunbird and Phoenix imagery often blend together.

Fantastic! I never heard of these colleges until now. I’d love my son to play football and attend one of these!
That is great! He should check out their web pages!
I genuinley had no idea this division even existed! How wonderful! Have a blessed day!
I appreciate the good wishes!
My kids can go to universities where they don’t treat Christians as pariahs? Sign them up! I can’t believe nobody has ever heard of this organization.
Glad to share the info! Feel free to spread the word to all your facebook or twitter friends or via phone!
