HR 35 Mississippi House · 2026 Regular Session

Dr. Charles F. McClelland; honor for outstanding leadership as Southwestern Athletic Conference Commissioner.

This is a ceremonial House Resolution (not a bill) honoring Dr. Charles F. McClelland for his leadership as Commissioner of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). It recognizes his role in expanding the conference with new members (Florida A&M and Bethune Cookman), creating the SWAC TV streaming platform, and becoming the first HBCU representative to chair the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee. The resolution, passed by the Mississippi House of Representatives, has no policy impact and serves solely to commend his contributions to HBCU athletics. It does not create new laws or affect any individuals or organizations beyond this expression of recognition.
