The Kingsmen of Thousand Oaks, California, who won the 1971 NAIA Division II national championship in just their first decade of football and later shared their campus with the Dallas Cowboys' training camp — a proud SCIAC program at William Rolland Stadium.
Cal Lutheran won a national championship and hosted the Dallas Cowboys for decades, yet the Kingsmen rarely get named among small-college football's proud programs.
