BIRMINGHAM, Ala.- The Southwestern Athletic Conference has announced its streaming schedule of men's and women's basketball games that are slated to air on ESPN+ this upcoming season in conjunction with the league's partnership with the Pac-12.
The Pac-12/SWAC Legacy Series, an educational and basketball scheduling partnership between the two collegiate athletics conferences, is set to tip off for the second consecutive season.
The first-of-its-kind pact between Autonomy 5 and HBCU leagues was announced last year with its aim to create both a forum for competition, as well as promotion and education around issues of anti-racism and social justice.
A total of four non-conference match-ups played on the campuses of SWAC member institutions will be carried live on ESPN+, featuring Alabama State and USC. The game is set for Dec. 19 at te Dunn-Oliver Acadome.
The men's and women's basketball seasons will tip-off next month and culminate with the 2024 SWAC Men's and Women's Basketball Tournaments March 13-16 in Birmingham, Ala. All tournament games are slated to be carried live on ESPN digital platforms.

Ayo shout out to the Pac 12. I hope another PWI conference does this next season when the PAC is dead. I’ll be in Montgomery to watch USC play my Hornets.
I can’t remember or don’t know if we’ve ever had a P5 school on campus for a men’s game…when I was on the yard back in the day Bama’s women’s team came to the Gump & got beat.
