Back for the second year are NCA & NDA's College Game Day Divisons!

The Game Day Divisions provide a unique and exciting opportunity for school Spirit Programs to work together to showcase their ability to promote school spirit and excitement in support of their school and its athletic teams. This division not only allows the use of traditional sideline cheer and dance teams, but also the incorporation of members of the school Marching Band, Pep Band, Drum Line, Mascot(s), Spirit Group/Club, etc.

In 2018, NC State University and Tarleton State University took home the first-ever NCA & NDA College Game Day titles.
