NOTE: A little late, but like the old saying goes, "better late than never". Anyway, here is the third and final installment on the "state of the conferences" with a look at the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, or the SIAC.
SOUTHERN INTERCOLLEGIATE ATHLETIC CONFERENCE--http://www.thesiac.com
2006-07 MEMBERSHIP
Albany State University (Ga.)
Benedict College (S.C.)
Clark-Atlanta University (Ga.)
Claflin University (S.C.)*
Fort Valley State University (Ga.)
Kentucky State University
Lane College (Tenn.)
LeMoyne-Owen College (Tenn.)
Miles College (Ala.)
Morehouse College (Ga.)
Paine College (Ga.)
Stillman College (Ala.)
Tuskegee University (Ala.)
*--First year in SIAC/NCAA Division II
Analysis: The SIAC will grow by at least one school this academic year, well, sort of. Claflin University of Orangeburg, S.C. will enter their first season in the conference as a provisional member, with just eight sports. With just three women's sports (basketball, softball, and volleyball), Claflin must add at least three more sports to comply with NCAA and Title IX requirements.
On the other hand, Albany State (Ga.) has shown tremenous strength athletically, as the men's teams share the All-Sports trophy, while the Lady Rams won the women's title outright.
