Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference


The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference is a collegiate athletic conference consisting mostly of historically black colleges and universities, with all but one member located in the Southern United States. Formed in 1913, the SIAC is a member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association and competes in Division II.
Only three charter members are still part of the conference—Clark Atlanta University, Tuskegee University, and Morehouse. Before 2014, all members had been southern HBCUs, but two of the SIAC's three newest members include its only non-HBCU, Spring Hill College, and its only member outside the South, Central State University of Ohio. The newest member, Savannah State University, returned to the SIAC in 2019 after a nearly 20-year absence. The U.S. Army's 24th Infantry Division teams competed as members of the SIAC from 1930 until 1935.
The SIAC leads all NCAA Division II conferences in football attendance.
