The University Athletic Association (UAA) is an athletic conference which competes in the National Collegiate Athletic Association's (NCAA) Division III. Member teams are located in Georgia, Illinois, Missouri, Pennsylvania, Massachusetts, Ohio and New York. The UAA is the only Division III conference to have all of its member institutions affiliated with the Association of American Universities, a prestigious collection of 60 research institutions. As each of the member universities places a stronger emphasis on academics than athletics, this conference is sometimes referred to as the "Nerdy Nine" (even though there are now only eight members).
