Great Northwest Athletic Conference

The Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) is an NCAA Division II intercollegiate athletic conference founded in 2001. It connects institutions across five U.S. states and British Columbia and has 10 full-time members. The GNAC sponsors 16 men’s and women’s varsity sports, including basketball, and its official portal provides schedules, standings, statistics, news and championship information for men’s and women’s basketball. The conference’s men’s basketball standings state that the GNAC Championships winner earns the automatic berth to the NCAA West Region Championships, while the official championships calendar lists separate men’s and women’s basketball championships. NCAA Division II records publish GNAC conference standings, corroborating its active competition at that level. This record concerns the collegiate conference and its basketball competitions, not a professional league or a national basketball federation.
