Talladega dropped football in 1948 and ended their play in the (SIAC). AAMU entered the conference as their replacement. Skegee and Talladega started their football programs In the early/mid 1890s and were dominant teams in the first half of the 20th century.

“The committee reviewed the membership application submitted by Talladega College (NAIA) but did not accept the institution into the membership process.”

All other schools were approved; does this mean Talladega is independent in 23-24? Or still part of an NAIA league? Their volleyball schedule has a hybrid NAIA/D2 feel

Yeah I know this as factual because I mistakenly said that ASU was in Normal and was throroughly corrected before I could do so lol
 
In the ATL on Dec 30, 1913, representatives of Alabama State Normal, Atlanta University, Clark College, Fisk University, Florida A&M, Jackson College, Morehouse College, Morris Brown College, Talladega College and Tuskegee Institute met and organized the Southeastern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC). The name was changed to the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference in 1929.
