SSC institutions have won a total of 83 NCAA national team championships, including two in the 2008-09 academic year.The conference was preceded by the Florida Intercollegiate Conference, which was disbanded in the mid-1960s.

Kelly Harrison was originally named assistant to the commissioner in 2002 and returned to that position in 2006 after a one-year absence and remains on the conference office staff to date as an assistant commissioner and senior woman administrator.The six charter Conference members were: Biscayne College (now called St. Thomas University), Florida Technological University (now University of Central Florida), Eckerd College, Florida Southern, Rollins College, and St. Leo College.The Conference has had dozens of athletes go on to have successful professional careers.
