  • NCAA Division III

    Hendrix was invited to join the NCAA Division III in the fall of 1990. Within a year of this invitation, our academic consortium, the Associated Colleges of the South, was formed. These events aligned Hendrix with institutions of similar mission and priority, creating a greater regional and national presence for Hendrix and reinforcing our relationship with these institutions in the classroom and on the field. The last 25 years has seen a natural progression of adding new teams, enrolling more student athletes, and building new facilities to support our academic and athletic programs.

  • Southern Athletic Association

    The Southern Athletic Association (SAA) formed in spring 2011 and began competition in the 2012-2013 academic year. The conference is committed to fostering athletic competition and cooperation among academically selective, residential liberal arts colleges in the southeastern United States. All SAA teams complete at the NCAA Division III level, which does not permit athletic scholarships. As a founding SAA member, Hendrix joins peer institutions in intercollegiate athletic competition who share a common goal of supporting the academic, co-curricular, and extracurricular experience of every student.

    The geographic focus of the new conference reduces travel time for student-athletes and costs. The season length and number of games are designed to better allow student-athletes to participate in other co-curricular activities and to minimize conflict with class and examination schedules. In 2015, Washington University and University of Chicago will join the SAA as affiliate conference members in football.
