The SIAC and Academy Sports + Outdoors are teaming up to share stories of family rivalries for the House United Campaign. This campaign, presented by Academy Sports + Outdoors, seeks to highlight the rivalries that exist within families and friends in the SIAC as a way to promote community among SIAC member institutions and show the interconnectedness of conference member institutions.
SIAC and Academy want to know did you and someone you're close to attend rival SIAC schools? Did you and your teammate pledge different sororities or fraternities? Does your partner cheer for the rival school during the biggest game of the year? Looking to feature fans and their unique stories, the SIAC will gather submissions from fans and select the best House United stories to highlight in the month of April.
Do YOU have a rivalry that unites your house? Tell us about it!
