RE: Who knows anything about the USCAA?
That is where I got my knowledge. It is another athletic organization for small schools and schools who don't fit the traditional mold. There are a few schools who are specialist but wouldn't meet the traditional standards like the NAIA or NCAA. Also, there is no minimum amount of sports a school needs to play. There membership is growing which basically focus for now in the east where there are many schools to build from.

It is schools mostly made up of 2 year CC, but there are some 4 year schools. Some USCAA schools do not count towards accountable wins. But some are.
Apprentice does have an unique relationship with NCAA D3. They are not a full member, but an affiliate since they are more of a trade school. Their football conference mate, Williamson Trade is a 2 year college.
Other schools that are USCAA are Concordia Alabama, Virginia U.-Lynchburg, Ohio Mid-Western and some others that have football. Some of the schools that was listed on the NAIA and NCAA banned list just need to get their accreditation fixed before they can rejoin as full members. They are mostly legit schools with a physical address and not just fake schools like College of Faith and the others like them with no class rooms, campuses and so forth.

There are actually some great schools (from an academic perspective) in the USCAA. Pratt Institute, Cooper Union (I think), and SUNY ESF are all in the USCAA.

Some NAIA schools were a member of the USCAA like Iowa Wesleyan, Lindenwood-Bellevue and some others.
