In the 1970s, as an NAIA Division I basketball program, the Aggies won three District IX Championships, as well as the 1980 NAIA men's basketball championship.[2] This was the first national championship for Cameron athletics.
Football
[edit]In 1987, Cameron defeated Carson–Newman (Tenn.) 30–2 to win the NAIA Division I Football National Championship.[3] Cameron had previously won a national championship as a junior college in 1961 as well, but the university discontinued football on December 11, 1992, to balance the number of sports offered to men and women, respectively.
Men's golf
[edit]Jerry Hrnciar has been the head coach of the men's golf program since 1975, and his teams have appeared in the NAIA National Championship Tournament in 1977, 1978, 1982, 1983 (National Champion), 1984, 1985, 1986, and 1987. After Cameron University made the switch to NCAA Division II, Hrnciar's teams have qualified in 1990, 1991, 1994, 1996, 1998, 2001, 2002, 2006, 2007, 2010, and 2011.
