Central Intercollegiate Conference - Wikipedia

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

(Redirected from Central Intercollegiate Athletic Conference)

The Central Intercollegiate Conference (CIC) was an American intercollegiate athletic conference that operated from 1928 to 1968.^[1] It was less often referred to as the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (CIAC), particularly towards the beginning of its existence. Formed in late 1927, the conference initially had seven members, all located in the state of Kansas, and began play in early 1928.^[2]^[3]^[4] Many of the league's members went on to form the Central States Intercollegiate Conference (CSIC) in 1976.
