dupe?

@MisterCake:

Stipulated that everything involving SAIAA / South Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association is complicated and hard to source. Are these two dupes in need of merge?

  1. Template:Independent south atlantic football champions
  2. Template:SAIAA football champions

I cannot tell if the first is a regional championship deal, in which case it's fine (pending sourcing). The second seems legit as the SAIAA conference's champion navbox, since it links to South Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association and aligns with the cited champions section on that article.

Yes, the first is independent regional champions, while the latter is for the conference...like it says. The "Proceedings of the NCAA Annual Convention" in 1912 states "The South Atlantic Intercollegiate Athletic Association, which was formed in 1912..." If it had existed in 1909, I am confident the VPI picture would have said SAIAA champs, but it doesn't. No contemporary source says it existed. Media guides are a great first step, but are far from gospel. Cake (talk) 22:31, 25 January 2019 (UTC)
