Welcome back to Week 6 of Division II Tuesday.
This week, we’re going to take a look at the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association (CIAA), which consists of mainly historically black colleges and universities. The CIAA’s football-sponsoring membership is primarily in North Carolina, with 8 schools in the state, with two more in Virginia and one each in Pennsylvania and Maryland. (New member Claflin University, which joined this year, does not sponsor football and is in South Carolina).
