SWAC

The Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) is an NCAA Division I athletic conference made up of historically Black colleges and universities in the Southern United States. It is best known for its competitive football programs, the annual SWAC Championship Game, and a history of producing NFL players and prominent coaches. It remains relevant in current news and public discourse due to ongoing conversations about college sports realignment, media rights, and the role of HBCUs in NCAA governance and athletics.
