Intercollegiate athletics has encountered many challenges in the 1990s and again the SEC provided guidance. In 1993, the member institutions adopted The Principles of Gender Equity. Committed to increasing the quantity and quality of women’s athletics opportunities, each school provides at least two more women’s intercollegiate programs than the number of men’s. Faced with the task of conference realignment after competing with 10 members since 1966, the SEC welcomed the University of Arkansas and the University of South Carolina in 1991. SEC schools began athletic competition with one another almost 100 years ago as members of the Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Association. Seven institutions (Alabama, Auburn, Georgia, Georgia Tech, North Carolina, Sewanee and Vanderbilt) attended the SIAA organizational meeting of faculty representatives in Atlanta in 1894. The seven-member SIAA expanded to 19 institutions in 1895, and by 1920, there were 30 members. The larger schools reorganized as the Southern Conference in 1920. Despite an original limit of 16, the membership grew to 23 by 1928. The 13 members west and south of the Appalachian Mountains reorganized as the Southeastern Conference at the annual SC meeting in 1932. The 10 coast members remained in the Southern Conference.
