Many schools maintain their NCCAA membership so that they have post season opportunities if they don't qualify for NCAA/NAIA post season.

Until this year, there was ONE school who had NCAA D3/NAIA membership, grandfathered in from long ago. Nebraska Wesleyan gave up their NAIA membership and committed completely to D3.

I think they allow only one affiliate from the USCAA since they are unique and not really true colleges/universities. NCAA D3 allow Apprentice as an affiliate, but not a full member since they are a four year school. They are not eligible for post season play.

mostly division III schedule.

They have a scheduling arrangement with NCAA D3 and mainly with USA South schools.
