Note: As far as I can tell, the IAC started playing a championship game in 1974. While the league existed before then, I found no evidence of a champion being crowned.
-
It appears that the league awarded an Overall League Championship in the years 1974-1979, 2000-2009, and then again in 2019. The league split between Large School and Small School Championships in the years 1980-1999, 2010-2018, and 2021 to today.
