American collegiate boxing tournament
TheNCAA boxing championships were discontinued by theNational Collegiate Athletic Association after 1960.[ 1]
The popularity of college boxing peaked in 1948, when 55 colleges participated in intercollegiate competition.[ 2] [ 3] [ 4] Charlie Mohr , a boxer on theUniversity of Wisconsin–Madison team, collapsed with a brain hemorrhage and died one week later.[ 5]
In 1976, American collegiate boxing was picked up again by theNational Collegiate Boxing Association . In 2012, theUnited States Intercollegiate Boxing Association (USIBA) was formed and hosted the first national championships for women alongside a men's division. The first USIBA Championships were hosted at theUniversity of San Francisco in 2013.
The first year of NCAA sponsorship of the championship was 1932. However, national championships were conducted in 1924–31 as well. Before 1948, NCAA team boxing championships were unofficial because team points were not officially awarded.
