Throughout the 2005-2006 academic year, the Southern
Collegiate Athletic Conference celebrated its 15th anniversary. A
special logo commemorating the occasion was also used
(pictured left).
In its first 15 years, the SCAC saw its membership grow from eight
schools in 1991 to the current roster of 11, and sports sponsorship
increased from 15 to 19. For a complete timeline listing the more
memorable and historical moments over the first 15 years in the
SCAC, check out the special anniversary timeline at the bottom of
this page.
As part of the celebration, the SCAC office released a 15th
anniversary all-SCAC team for each of its 18 conference-sponsored
sports.
After the release of the final spring sport team, 297 former and
current student-athletes were recognized as an all-anniversary
recipient for his or her respective sport.
The teams were selected by the Athletics Directors, head coaches
and sports information directors of the Southern Collegiate
Athletic Conference.
Did you know? Until 1991, the SCAC was known as the CAC (College Athletic Conference)? The CAC was formed in 1962 with four charter members: Centre College, Southwestern @ Memphis (now Rhodes College), Sewanee-The University of the South, and Washington & Lee (Va.) University. Washington (Mo.) University joined the CAC later that same year. "No Pay, No Pressure, No Hypocrisy; Five Schools Make Sports Fun Again!"
