Eastern Metro Athletic Conference

Eastern Metro Athletic Conference (EMAC) was a Division I conference of the United States Collegiate Athletic Association (USCAA). The conference consisted of schools from North Carolina, South Carolina, and Virginia.[2] The conference hosted its first championships in the 2018–19 season.[2]

Founding members of the conference included Johnson and Wales (Charlotte), Mid-Atlantic Christian University, The Apprentice School, and Warren Wilson College.[1] Clinton College was added as a founding member once the college was accepted into USCAA membership, bringing the inaugural membership up to five for the 2018–19 season.[3] On November 8, 2021, the EMAC announced that Regent University would be joining the conference effective immediately.[4]

The EMAC ceased operations when Apprentice and MACU announced they were leaving to join the New South Athletic Conference in 2022.
