History

Historical Context

The Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) was founded in 1920 to promote athletics among historically black colleges. In 1999, the SWAC introduced a football championship game, shifting from determining champions by regular-season records. This change intensified competition, exemplified by Prairie View A&M and Southern University, and fostered community engagement, crucial for the schools' athletic and academic missions.
