The New South Athletic Conference continues to grow, and now is pleased to welcome South Carolina Central Christian College as a member for the 2024-25 academic year.

SC Central is a startup in greater Columbia, South Carolina with a charter school and a post-grad program in its heritage and now transitioning to a four-year institution.

“South Carolina Central Christian College is excited about the future of our athletic program,” said athletic director Demond Logan. “Our journey has just begun, and we would like to thank the New South Athletic Conference for allowing us to become part of a conference that aligns with our goals and mission as a small institution of higher learning. S4C’s focus is to give our student-athletes opportunities to excel academically while providing opportunities to excel and be recognized for their athletic achievements.”

“It was a pleasure to meet President Dr. Paula Shelby and Demond recently as we discussed the vision and mission of our institutions,” said NSAC commissioner Mike Davis. “I see a lot of synergy. I’m happy to welcome the Gladiators to the league.”

SC Central will sponsor men’s basketball, football, and volleyball when they open this fall in Cayce.
