Sports
The NCC sponsored baseball, men's and women's basketball, football, cross-country, golf, soccer, softball, swimming & diving, tennis, track & field, volleyball, and wrestling.
Six of the seven members of the NCC sponsored Division I ice hockey, and five still do. Minnesota–Duluth, Minnesota State–Mankato, Nebraska–Omaha, North Dakota, and St. Cloud State field men's teams in the Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA). All of these schools except for UNO also have women's teams in the WCHA (UNO women's hockey is a club sport). In 2013, after a major realignment of men's hockey, the only one of these schools whose men's team will remain in the WCHA will be Minnesota State–Mankato. The other four schools will join the new National Collegiate Hockey Conference. The women's side of the WCHA will not be affected by this realignment.
