Southwestern and Trinity (TX) will exit the SCAC for the SAA, beginning as full members in 2025-26. Additionally, the Pirates FB program will begin competing as a SAA affiliate this fall. Berry President/SAA President's Council Chair Briggs: “both institutions align perfectly with the SAA in valuing a residential model of education that emphasizes and integrates high-quality academic and athletic programs. Both universities are nationally competitive, and this expansion will establish the SAA as one of the premier Division III conferences.” (link)
