What is the SCAC?
The Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC) was formed to
provide an association through which the member institutions may
encourage organized competition in intercollegiate sports among
teams representative of their respective student bodies. Members of
this conference share a commitment to priority of the overall
quality of academic standards and quality educational experiences.
SCAC member institutions are committed to sponsoring a variety of varsity sports to maximize opportunities for student participation. SCAC schools also operate under the principle that participation in sports should be solely from student interest and enjoyment of athletic competition, and that no financial aid shall be given to any student which is conditional upon athletic ability or participation in intercollegiate sports.
SCAC member institutions support students in their efforts to reach high levels of performance by providing them with adequate facilities, competent coaching and appropriate competitive opportunities with students from similar institutions.
The SCAC is currently comprised of Austin College of Sherman,
Texas; Birmingham-Southern College of Birmingham, Alabama; Centre
College of Danville, Kentucky; Colorado College of Colorado
Springs, Colorado; DePauw University of Greencastle, Indiana;
Hendrix College of Conway, Arkansas; Millsaps College of Jackson,
Mississippi; Oglethorpe University of Atlanta, Georgia; Rhodes
College of Memphis, Tennessee; The University of the South of
Sewanee, Tennessee; Southwestern University of Georgetown, Texas;
and Trinity University of San Antonio, Texas.
The SCAC office is located in suburban Atlanta, Georgia.
