Mid-States Football Association Consisting of a Mideast and Midwest League, the Mid-States Football Association begins its 24th season with 13 schools in five Midwestern states.

Each MSFA team plays the other teams within its league plus crossover games against the other league. The champions of the two leagues receive automatic berths into the NAIA Championship Series.

MSFA teams have claimed eight NAIA national championships, including five of the last six by Grand View University in 2013, Marian (Ind.) University in 2012 and 2015, Saint Xavier University in 2011, and University of Saint Francis (Ind.) in 2016. The University of Findlay (1995 & 1997) and Westminster College (1994) also won national titles as members of the MSFA.

SAINTS IN PROFESSIONAL FOOTBALL Dustin Greenwell (top left), a two-time All-MSFA tight end at USF, was selected with the second pick in the 70th round of the inaugural Major League Football draft in January 2016. Following a senior campaign in which he had 39 receptions for 455 yards and four TDs, he received invitations to attend rookie mini-camps with the Chicago Bears and Kansas City Chiefs.

EJ White (bottom left) was named MVP of the International Federation of American Football title game on July 28, 2016. White threw for 345 yards and six touchdowns and rushed for 103 yards to lead the Polish League champion Wroclaw Panthers to a 40-37 victory. White, who finished his career in third place on the NAIA alltime all-purpose yardage chart, has played professionally in Sweden, Germany and Poland.

Dempsey Norman, a two-time NAIA All-District wide receiver, was an 11th-round pick of the Phoenix Cardinals in 1990.
