Chowan to join CIAA football conference in 2008
MURFREESBORO, N.C. -- Chowan will join the Central Intercollegiate Athletic Association as a football-only member beginning next season, school and league officials said Monday.
“Chowan University is thrilled at the opportunity to become a part of the CIAA football culture,” president M. Christopher White said.
Chowan, a private Baptist school with an enrollment of about 900, has been an independent since moving to Division II two years ago and joins the country’s oldest conference for historically black colleges and universities. Chowan is located in the northeast North Carolina city of Murfreesboro, near CIAA member Elizabeth City State.
“Our vision for the CIAA is to grow all aspects of the conference including educational synergies, athletic competition and to create a dynamic mixture of culture, history and geographic relevance,” conference commissioner Leon G. Kerry said. “We feel that Chowan University joining our football program is a great step on that path.”

Groove, they lost to St. Paul's. They ain't coming close to no title for at least four years. Their only win was an overtime win over division III Methodist.

Chowan does not have the kind of talent that they had back in the 80's and 90's. Back then Hayes got a lot of good transfer from there. Chowan use to come to A&T and scrimmage us back during that time. I am not sure how many times they came to scrimmage us but they came several times.
