How to submit a story idea to the NCAA
We are always looking for great stories about student-athletes and campus leaders that illustrate the virtues of the collegiate sports experience. We welcome submissions and look for stories that fit the following departments.
Champion Features
These feature stories, which appear both in Champion magazine and on NCAA.org, are our most in-depth written pieces. We look for interesting stories about student-athletes and campus leaders that extend beyond wins and losses, social issues that impact
NCAA institutions and student-athletes, important historical moments that can be reintroduced to new generations, and important trends in the athletics world that impact collegiate athletics.
NCAA.org Features
Our shorter-length features on NCAA.org focus on storylines that advocate for the NCAA’s core values and its mission. Such stories tightly bind the connection between athletics and education, the values of fair competition and the virtues of amateurism.
Lead-Off
This section is intended to give a voice to our membership through brief commentaries that complement those written by the NCAA president and Champion staff. We look for letters to the editor and independent commentaries (400-500 words) that are thought provoking, written respectfully and linked to the values of the association.
News Briefs
The NCAA News section highlights developments of the last quarter in all divisions. We look for interesting stories about on- and off-campus programs, campus development, interesting activities and compelling accomplishments.
Faces of the NCAA
This section portrays presidents, administrators, coaches and student-athletes who have demonstrably contributed to the mission of the association. We look for subjects who stand out as examples of great leadership, innovation and charity.
Obituaries
We accept memorial pieces about people whose lives were in some way dedicated to collegiate athletics. We prefer submissions be made by colleagues or close friends who can illustrate the impact the person made in their departments.
