Which organization is NOT among the listed college athletics governing bodies alongside the NCAA?

• A. FIFA
• B. NAIA
• C. NJCAA
• D. USCAA

Answer: (A)

In college athletics, the organizations that govern intercollegiate competition set rules, oversee championships, and handle eligibility for member schools. The three U.S. associations listed—NAIA, NJCAA, and USCAA—are all such governing bodies serving different groups of colleges and universities, much like the NCAA but with their own member schools and rules.

FIFA functions as the international governing body for soccer, with authority over national teams and professional leagues worldwide. Its scope is global and sport-specific, not focused on U.S. college intercollegiate competition. That’s why FIFA is not among the college athletics governing bodies alongside the NCAA.
