Chowan University and the CIAA are parting company.
The CIAA announced Monday that it will be ending its association with the non-HBCU school in Murfreesboro, N.C.
Chowan won the CIAA Northern Division title this past season before falling to Southern champ Fayetteville State in the CIAA championship game in Salem.
Since 2018, Chowan has been an associate member of the CIAA, concentrating on football. Chowan also is a member of the NCAA Division II Conference Carolinas for other sports.
Conference Carolinas does not sponsor football.
With Chowan’s departure, the CIAA will be down to 11 football members, six in the South and five (Virginia Union, Virginia State, Bowie State, Elizabeth City and Lincoln) in the North.
