ABOUT THE APPALACHIAN ATHLETIC CONFERENCE

The Conference name changed to the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) in 2001 with the addition of Bluefield College, Montreat College, Alice Lloyd College, and Union College. In 2019, the Conference became the largest NAIA affiliated conference with 16 full members in eight southeastern states: Allen (S.C.), Bluefield (Va.), Brenau (Ga.), Bryan (Tenn.), Columbia (S.C.), Columbia International (S..C), Kentucky Christian, Milligan (Tenn.), Montreat (N.C.), Point (Ga.), Reinhardt (Ga.), SCAD Atlanta (Ga.), St. Andrews (N.C.), Tennessee Wesleyan, Truett McConnell (Ga.), and Union (Ky.). The Conference has five affiliate members as well: Asbury (Ky.), Cumberlands (Ky.), SCAD Savannah (Ga.), Webber International (Fla.), and West Virginia Tech.
