Missouri College Athletic Union

The Missouri College Athletic Union (MCAU) was an intercollegiate athletic conference that existed from 1924 to 1971. It consisted primarily of private universities from the state of Missouri that departed the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association after its 1924 reorganization.^[1] In 1970, the MCAU was reorganized as the Heart of America Athletic Conference (HAAC). However, the HAAC does not claim the Athletic Union's history.
