The University Athletic Association (UAA) is an American athletic conference that 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. Due to the academic strength of its members colloquially, it has been called the "egghead eight." (The name "nerdy nine" was also used when Johns Hopkins was a member.)
