Six new college sports teams will be joining the NAIA (National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics). Those teams, in descending order of nickname awesomeness, are:
PROVIDENCE (CA) CHRISTIAN COLLEGE SEA BEGGARS
Location: Pasadena, CA
Comment: How can you not love a nickname as cool and unique as Sea Beggars? And when you combine that nickname with this terrific logo it’s a safe bet PCC’s teams will become nationwide favorites in no time.
OHIO CHRISTIAN UNIVERSITY TRAILBLAZERS
Location: Circleville, OH
Comment: Balladeer’s Blog has been covering Ohio Christian University as members of the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association) and the USCAA (United States Collegiate Athletic Association) up to now, so regular readers are already very familiar with them.
GOVERNORS STATE UNIVERSITY JAGUARS
Location: University Park, IL
Comment: Governors State University is fast gaining a reputation as one of Illinois’ finest institutions of higher learning. It will be a lot of fun following their Jaguars sports teams in the months and years ahead!
BENEDICTINE UNIVERSITY AT MESA RED HAWKS
Location: Mesa, AZ
Comment: Get in on the ground level as BU-Mesa launches a variety of its sports teams! One day the Red Hawks at this institution will have championships plus legendary athletes and coaches! It’s always a thrill to watch a program grow from the very beginning!
MULTNOMAH UNIVERSITY LIONS
Location: Portland, OR
Comment: As with OCU above regular readers of Balladeer’s Blog are very familiar with the Multnomah University Lions because of my coverage of the NCCAA (National Christian College Athletic Association) and the ACCA (Association of Christian College Athletics).
SIERRA NEVADA COLLEGE EAGLES
Location: Incline Village, NV
Comment: Welcome to Sierra Nevada College! It’s odd that a college that shines in such exciting sports has the most overused nickname in the world for its teams. Something like “The Snowbirds” might fit the various winter sports they excel in or maybe even “The Lakers” since they’re near Lake Tahoe.

It’s the Trailblazers who rock.
Maybe so.
Red Hawks! Yeah!
You said it!
Wow! Sea Beggars? lol
I think it’s kind of cool.
Awesome logos!
I agree!
The NAIA is better than the NCAA at this point.
A lot of people tell me that.
Great additions, all of them!
I know what you mean!
