The History of the South Atlantic Conference

The South Atlantic Conference is built upon more than 30 years of athletic tradition and excellence. The Conference has enjoyed tremendous success due to dedicated people building a premier athletic conference throughout its history.

Today the Conference is a group of nine private colleges and universities, most of them church-affiliated, similar in size and athletic philosophy. Since becoming eligible for NCAA Division II postseason play in 1993, the league has sent representatives from all of its sponsored sports to NCAA postseason play.

The league membership now includes Brevard College in Brevard, NC; Carson-Newman College in Jefferson City, TN; Catawba College in Salisbury, NC; Lenoir-Rhyne College in Hickory, NC; Lincoln Memorial University in Harrogate, TN; Mars Hill College in Mars Hill, NC; Newberry College in Newberry, SC; Tusculum College in Greeneville, TN; and Wingate University in Wingate, NC.
