About the Appalachian Athletic Conference: 

The Appalachian Athletic Conference evolved from the Volunteer State Athletic Conference (VSAC), an NAIA conference organized in the 1940s and dissolved in the early 1980s when institutions in the eastern part of the state seceded to form the Tennessee Virginia Athletic Conference (TVAC). The Conference name changed to the Appalachian Athletic Conference (AAC) in 2001 with the addition of Bluefield University, Montreat College, Alice Lloyd College, and Union Commonwealth University.

Cumberlands (Ky.), Georgetown (Ky.), Keiser (Fla.), Life (Ga.), Point (Ga.)
