The NCAA does not have a cheerleader competition. Competition cheer is the purview of the NCA and the UCA – two private organizations since Cheer is not a “sport” (see the discussion above). The UofMich has won the championship *in its division/I– but it’s not the most competitive division. Basically, schools can enter whatever skill level they want to enter, regardless of their size. Not trying to hate on them but there are multiple “champions” for the various divisions.
For the NCA, the most competitive division is D1A and the University of Louisville won both the Coed and All-Girl championships. Univ of Oklahoma finished 2nd in both, too.
For the UCA coed Div 1A, Univ of Kentucky won (Univ Central Fl was 2nd) and All-Girl was won by Indiana (Alabama was 2nd). But the top 10 are a wide variety of schools, not only the Big 10 and SEC.
These schools would be recognized the true national champions. Hope this helps. Hope this hasn’t veered too much from the original post’s intent. But the level of athleticism is off the chart, IMHO.
