Southland Conference targeting Prairie View, Texas Southern, Grambling, and Southern as potential members Four SWAC institutions, Prairie View A&M, Texas Southern, Grambling, and Southern, are being targeted by the Southland Conference as potential new members. After five schools announced earlier this year their plans to leave the Southland Conference for other leagues, conference officials have since begun the arduous task of finding suitable replacements. “The Board discussed the league’s progress on membership possibilities and will continue to review options for the league’s future configuration,” the league stated in a release at the conclusion of its annual Spring meetings. Prairie View and Texas Southern, located in Texas; Grambling and Southern, located in Louisana; align perfectly with the Southland Conference’s geographic footprint. This is not the first time the SLC has targeted PV and TSU as possible league members, but according to the report, there are some unique circumstances at Grambling and Southern that give Southland officials reason to be optimistic in pursuing both Louisiana institutions.
