When people think of the CIAA, most people think of its basketball tournament. Or more specifically, the spectacle surrounding its basketball tournament.
But the CIAA has the deepest roots of all the HBCU conferences, and that includes football.

There are some inaccuracies in the championship count amongst institutions. Virginia State according to my count has 10. I couldn’t for the life of me find two more unless WVSU (two) were taken into account. Also you missed NCCU = 8, and VUU = 10
You also missed that Hampton had 13 Football Championships. In addition, the CIAA was founded on the campus of Hampton Institute (now Hampton University).
