Original Names of Sun Belt Conference Members

This post would probably be best suited in the summer, but I would otherwise forget it, so for your viewing pleasure the original names (or name of the institution that was replaced) of the colleges in the Sun Belt Conference. And no it isn't a typo - there are 2 different colleges that were named First District.

Watauga Academy

First District Agricultural School

Coastal Carolina Junior College

First District Agricultural & Mechanical School

Georgia School of Technology Evening School of Commerce

The State Normal and Industrial School for Women

Southwestern Louisiana Industrial Institute

Ouachita Parish Junior College

Marshall Academy

Norfolk Division of the College of William and Mary

~~University of Alabama at Mobile (I doubt this was the name, what was the original college name in 1963?)~~ University of South Alabama (yes the original name - chartered as a university in 1963 as an alternative to University of Alabama & Auburn with support from the gov. George Wallace - ick)

Mississippi Normal College

Southwest Texas State Normal School

Troy State Normal School
