+The **Universities of Torland Athletics Commission (UTAC)** is a nonprofit organization that regulates student athletics among the 56 qualified universities in Torland.

The organization is headquartered in [[Trowburgh|Trowburgh, Lismane]].
 Founded in 1946 on recommendation by Torland President Josef Yusey, UTAC was created to oversee the collegiate basketball tournament and expanded to include all collegiate sports and athletics. Previously a smaller commission called UAC oversaw limited collegiate athletics from 1910-1945.
 UTAC is comprised of 16 public, 15 private, 22 state, and 3 military schools which are organized into six athletic conferences plus four independents. All 56 schools participate in collegiate basketball. American football is further divided into First Conference (C1) and Second Conference (C2), while ice hockey programs belong to a single league irrespective of conference called the Torland Collegiate Hockey League (TCHL). Other sports are typically organized by conference.

+The history of [[Universities of Torland|universities and colleges in Torland]] is tied directly to colonization and independence efforts. With so many universities and colleges now running in Torland with a variety of sports and athletics clubs, a commission was formed and simply called University Athletics Commission to oversee athletic activities.
-=== Beginnings ===
+President Josef Yusey's plan for Torland after WWII included an expansion of the university system in the country. Yusey spearheaded the formation of new technical schools with Cabriga Tech, Guilden Tech, and Turnbull Tech in 1944 and the full charter expansion with the 1946 additions of Estas A&M, JYU, and Warrington Tech, adding six technical and mechanical schools to the Torland system.
-The first college in Torland was founded in Kirlow in 1801 by European settlers which was named Wingate. Soon after, in 1805, a second college was founded in Portarra called Gavas. These schools were the early pioneers of higher education in Colonial Torland as European settlers began migrating to the new colony.
+With the growing formation of sports clubs and collegiate athletics, the UAC was becoming outdated and outgrown so Yusey proposed a plan to establish a new commission, called Universities of Torland Athletics Commission (UTAC), to better organize and promote a new collegiate basketball tournament to be held in March at the end of the regular season, part of his master plan (called the Yusey Plan) to help spur growth and rebuilding efforts in Torland after the war. Later that same year the UAC was folded into the new UTAC and became the master governing body for all of Torland collegiate athletics.
-Other institutions of higher learning began to spring up as nations began to also attempt to colonize the island. Conover was founded in 1809 in Moriga under Spanish rule, along with such colleges as Templeton in Hilversale in 1823, Saint Serra in San Ferrio in 1825, Madford in Barleserta in 1828, and Pantoja in 1829. Spanish Catholic missionaries founded Rosa Nence in Alko in 1883.
+Just months before his tragic assassination, president Thomas Earl Foster had enacted a new education bill that infused several government and state subsidies to higher education in Torland, including a reorganization of the rapidly expanding UTAC.
-Meanwhile, French-Canadian and English settlers in northeast Torland founded two colleges in 1812 with Quebel on the Alrene Isles and Saint Clair in Chasonne 1812. Robinette in Narva followed in 1820. Lecayne was founded in 1833 by French scholars and Catholic missionaries.
-The Russian colonies were loathe to commit resources to build infrastructure but Fulcher was founded in Yubay in 1845, while Kimaesee was the product of local learning and grew in Kurohara in 1851. Part of the beginning of western Torland colonists seeking independence founded Bevin in Fort Bevin in 1849, which grew out of a frustration of Russian influence and the desire to train and arm the people.
-=== Torland Independence and formation of UAC ===
-A significant arm of the Torland plan for independence was the establishment of state universities. As such, with the 1903 declaration of independence, the plan allowed for charters of state schools. The first group to be established were Granago, New Dosa, Maienzona, and Solinza. By 1909 the war efforts were ending and the remaining charters were established as Forstana State, Granago State, and Isles State, originally called Alrene Isles State, but later shortened to Isles.
-Cabriga State, Lismane State, Pakola State, and Tamokeva State followed in 1910. With so many universities and colleges now running in Torland with a variety of sports and athletics clubs, a commission was formed and simply called University Athletics Commission to oversee athletic activities.
-=== The Golden Years and Malcolm Mury ===
-Torland politician Malcolm Mury, a graduate of Rose Nence who became president in 1934, helped spur the growth of higher education in Torland. The first state system to add a satellite campus was Pakola State with a huge new campus in Alko in

-Pinkerton State

-=== The Yusey Plan Expansion and formation of UTAC in 1946 ===
-President Josef Yusey's plan for Torland after WWII included an expansion of the university system in the country. Yusey spearheaded the formation of new technical schools with Cabriga Tech, Guilden Tech, and Turnbull Tech in 1944 and the full charter expansion with the 1946 additions of Estas A&M, JYU, and Warrington Tech, adding six more schools to the Torland system.
-=== The Foster Plan and UTAC Reorganization of 1972 ===
-Just months before his tragic assassination, president Thomas Earl Foster had enacted a new education bill that infused several government and state subsidies to higher education in Torland, including a reorganization of the rapidly expanding UTAC. This included state systems adding more satellite campuses in the early 70's. Pakola State led the charge with Pak State Tangi in 1970 and Pak State Silkeboro in 1972. The University of Solinza added a Reto Bay campus in 1971. The University of Maienzona was expanded with additions in San Ferrio in 1970, which took over the previous San Ferrio State campus, formerly founded in  1960, and a brand new campus in Harpar which opened in 1972. The University of New Dosa expanded their footprint with a new campus in Prestonburg in 1972 despite the close proximity due to the cramped quarters in Vensessor.
-Meanwhile, several schools became independent of their state systems with Cauldron Valley taking on their own charter away from UND and Dosa State deciding to relocate away from Dosa City into a larger campus based in Zeckley.
