HOLLOMAN:
Gets contract extension as SIAC Commissioner until 2029.
ATLANTA — The Southern Intercollegiate Athletic Confe-rence (SIAC) Council of Presidents has unanimously approved a contract extension for Commissioner Anthony Holloman, Ed.D., through 2029, reaffirming its confidence in his leadership and vision for the future.
“I am deeply appreciative of the Council of Presidents’ continued confidence in our leadership and the direction of the SIAC,” Holloman said.
“Our conference stands on a tremendous legacy created by a cadre of institutional leaders, student-athletes, coaches and administrators. We have made meaningful strides in elevating the SIAC brand, strengthening the student-athlete experience, expanding relationships with strategic partners and creating greater engagement for our fans. I look forward to continuing that momentum as we build upon our foundation, pursue new opportunities and further position the SIAC as the preeminent conference in all of NCAA Division II.
The extension was approved during the Council of Presidents’ 2026 Summer Board Meeting in Atlanta following its annual review of Holloman’s performance.
Under Holloman’s leadership, the SIAC has experienced a period of significant growth and achievement, including unprecedented progress in media and broadcasting, historic NCAA postseason success, expanded national relationships and increased representation within collegiate athletics leadership.
Among the conference’s most significant accomplishments has been the formation and growth of the SIAC Network, creating a conference-wide platform to expand the visibility of SIAC athletics, member institutions and student-athletes.
The SIAC also experienced historic competitive success as three conference programs advanced to the NCAA Division II football playoffs in 2025.
The conference has also strengthened its national relationships through its ACC Football Officiating Alliance affiliation, making the SIAC the only HBCU conference that is a member of the alliance.
Holloman’s leadership has extended to the national level as well. He became the first person from an HBCU to chair the NCAA Men’s Volleyball Committee, providing important representation for HBCU athletics within the NCAA governance structure and further establishing the SIAC as a leader in the continued growth of men’s volleyball.
