The Great Northwest Athletic Conference (GNAC) is a college athletic conference affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) at the Division II level. It has historically operated in the northwestern United States, but also includes schools in Alaska, Montana, and British Columbia.
The GNAC is the only NCAA conference in any division with a Canadian university as a member.
History
The conference formed in 2001 when its original ten members split from the Pacific West Conference.
