In the winter of 1921, fifteen prominent colleges and universities
met in Atlanta, Georgia, to form a new organization to promote
intercollegiate athletics competition. That organization, soon to
become known as the Southern Conference, remains a strong and
viable member of the National Collegiate Athletic Association
(NCAA) 100 years later. Southern Conference roots may be found
throughout college athletics from the Mid-Atlantic region to the
deep South. All but three of the current Southeastern Conference
(SEC) members once belonged to the Southern Conference. Likewise, a
majority of present Atlantic Coast Conference (ACC) institutions
formerly were SoCon members. A Proud Athletic History: 100 Years of
the Southern Conference tells the story of the notable athletes,
coaches, and athletic programs that have built such a rich
tradition over so many decades. Legendary sports figures such as
Jerry West, Arnold Palmer, Bear Bryant, Sam Huff, and Steph Curry
are all part of the Southern Conference's past. This is the first
definitive history of the SoCon, utilizing many rarely-before-seen
photos, researched via official league records and minutes, and
filled with features and highlights in an easy-to-read format.
There's also a detailed look at the present conference membership,
which is a remarkably diverse combination of state and private
institutions, as well as two military colleges. It's all chronicled
here. From football bowl games to the formation of the SEC and ACC
to the first three-point basket in NCAA history. With a proud past,
the Southern Conference continues its mission of preparing
student-athletes for life's challenges.
