Eastern Indiana Athletic Conference

Map of Indiana counties with member high schools

An eight-member IHSAA-sanctioned Conference located within Dearborn, Decatur, Fayette, Franklin, Ripley, and Rush Counties. The conference was formed when the football playing schools of the East Central Conference (except for Morton Memorial) joined with three schools from the Southeastern Indiana Conference. With the exception of 1962-66, 1973-74, 1977-85 (7 members), and 1974-77 (8 members), the conference had been a six-member league until 2013, when Connersville and Rushville joined.^[1]

This conference should not be confused with the Eastern Indiana Conference, a small-school conference in Northeast Indiana that existed from 1953 to 1975.
