The NCAA Men's Gymnastics Championships are a gymnastics competition held each year to determine the best men's college gymnastics team. All schools compete in one National Collegiate division because only 15 schools sponsor NCAA men's gymnastics teams. Three of the 15 teams are not in Division I: Greenville University, Simpson College, Springfield College (Division III).[1]
