A. ^ The U.S. Army's 24th Infantry Division teams competed as members of the SIAC from 1930 until 1935.
B. ^ Golf returned as a conference sport in 2008. The first SIAC Intercollegiate Golf Championship was held at Tuskegee in 1938. The SIAC stopped Golf as a sport due to World War II but restarted in 1947 as an official conference sport until 1980 when golf was discontinued.[5]
