CVAC Commissioner, Dr. Alan Patterson says this about the conference, "The Carolinas-Virginia <strong>Athletics</strong><br />

Conference is recognized regionally and nationally as a premier NCAA Division II conference which<br />

champions scholarship athletics working in concert with student athlete's committed to academic<br />

success."<br />

The CVAC has roots in the Old North State Conference formed in 1938. The name changed<br />

to the Carolinas Conference with the first inclusion of South Carolina members, and in 1994<br />

became the CVAC as Virginia membership was included and championship play was shifted to<br />

NCAA Division II.<br />
