TUCKER, GA – The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (SIAC) – announced the launch of a newly re-designed TheSIAC.com website in cooperation with Internet Consulting Services of Syracuse, NY. The new site includes an updated design, embedded video highlights, fan polls, sms text messaging updates and more.
“I have consistently maintained that the SIAC possesses some of the best assets in college sports”, said Commissioner Greg Moore. “The launch of our new ICS website together with our new YouTube channel with almost 60 video highlights, and recently launched Facebook and Twitter pages with over 2000 fans and followers will not only empower us to leverage these assets in new and innovative ways, but more importantly, will enable the SIAC to more effective showcase our outstanding student-athletes, member institutions and corporate partners.”
The SIAC worked closely with ICS to produce the new site, which is the latest in the conference rebranding initiatives that began in January last year.
