Columbia Football Association

The Columbia Football Association was a NAIA intercollegiate athletic football conference composed of member schools from the states of Oregon and Washington. From 1987 to 1995, it was divided into two separate, geographic divisions, the northern Rainier League (a reference to Mount Rainier in Washington) and the southern Mount Hood League (a reference to Mount Hood in Oregon). After 1995, the conference consolidated back into one, single division.^[1] Former members are currently scattered between Division II and Division III in the NCAA and the NAIA.
