THE GULF COAST ATHLETIC CONFERENCE (GCAC)

In 2010 a seismic shift happened in the NAIA. The Gulf Coast Athletic Conference had been a conference that consisted of four HBCUs for many years but became the NAIA’s version of the SWAC, MEAC, CIAA or SIAC. The four longest standing member schools—Dillard, Southern-New Orleans, Tougaloo, and Xavier—have been joined by Edward Waters, Philander Smith, Talladega, and Vorhees. The GCAC’s sporthe Gulf Coast Athletic Conference Logos information director, David Grubb, visited the HBCU Lifestyle Podcast to talk about the intense competition throughout the new GCAC and the must-see rivalries that are winning the member colleges and universities new fans.
