Last night, during our SSAC Volleyball Awards Banquet, a member of Talladega College’s team had a racially motivated picture airdropped to her. At this time, we have not been able to determine where it originated from, but we are continuing to look into it. 
 
The SSAC will not condone this type of behavior. We are very supportive of all of our student-athletes, coaches and staff from our 11 institutions. We sincerely regret that this occurrence happened.
 
Talladega College and the women who represent the volleyball program are a valuable and important asset to our conference makeup. Though we are saddened by the events of last evening and the vile and vicious act of a few, we are more concerned with supporting the students who were affected by this incident. As we continue to try and investigate the source of this incident, our love and support for the women’s volleyball program at Talladega is most important and we will continue to create a safe space for all students associated with the SSAC.
