It also organizes the athletic programs of colleges and universities in the United States and Canada and helps over 500,000 college student athletes who compete annually in college sports. The organization is headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana. Until 1957, the NCAA was a single division for all schools.

In August 1973, the current three-division system of Division I, Division II, and Division III was adopted by the NCAA membership in a special convention.
