http://www.sportinglifearkansas.com/rex-nelson-the-rich-history-of-the-aic/Pretty good summary...lots of great competition over the years...AIC was THE basketball conference in this part of the US for quite a while...lots of great defensive coaches and stifling defense....really a very fine track and field conference...winning times from 60s/70s still would often make NCAA D1 championship fields today....
I especially miss beating up on Tech.....and the always tough competition with the Muleriders....
