It has been noted that discussions have taken place between the Arkansas member institutions of the Gulf South Conference (GSC) and some Oklahoma institutions gauging interest in forming a new athletic conference.
Most of the GSC presidents and chancellors are attending the NCAA Division II President’s and Chancellor’s Summit in Indianapolis this weekend and will be meeting there Friday to further discuss this issue. The GSC presidents and chancellors’ annual summer meeting will be held at the end of next week in Birmingham where more discussion will take place.
“The GSC is a great conference, but the geographic expanse does pose travel length and expense issues,” stated SAU President Dr. David F. Rankin. “No official decision has been made, but discussions are ongoing and advanced.”
