South Carolina Little Three

The South Carolina Little Three (known as the South Carolina Little Four from 1946 to 1951) was an intercollegiate athletic conference that existed from 1946 to 1964. The conference's three main members, Newberry College, Presbyterian College, and Wofford College, were located in the state of South Carolina.^[1]

The three primary members of the conference were Newberry College, Presbyterian College, and Wofford College. All three teams now play in different leagues: Newberry in the South Atlantic (Division II), Presbyterian in the Big South (FCS), and Wofford in the SoCon (FCS).

Erskine College was also a member from 1946 until 1951, when it dropped its football program. Erskine resumed its football program in 2020, and competes as an independent in Division II; it some other sports it is a member of Conference Carolinas.

The College of Charleston was also a member of the South Carolina Little Five in basketball, but the post-season basketball tournament was always for the South Carolina Little Four, as the College of Charleston was not invited. The College of Charleston is now a member of the Colonial Athletic Association.
