Volunteer State Athletic Conference




The VSAC was organized in the 1940s and dissolved in the early 1980s . Member schools were in the National Association Of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). Long-term members of the conference included the institutions now known as Belmont University , Lipscomb University , Lambuth College , Union University , Lee University , and Bryan College . The conference dissolved when the institutions in the eastern portion of the state seceded to form the short-lived Tennessee Valley Athletic Conference (TVAC). Those in the western part of the state formed in turn the Tennessee Collegiate Athletic Conference (TCAC), which was also rather short-lived. The current TranSouth Athletic Conference is sometimes regarded as something of a successor to the VSAC and its two short-lived successors.
