We study 119 B stars located in the Scorpius-Centaurus Association using data from NASA's TESS Mission. We see pulsations in 81 stars (68 per cent) across the full range of effective temperatures. In particular, we confirm previous reports of low-frequency pulsations in stars whose temperatures fall between the instability strips of SPB stars (slowly pulsating B stars) and δ Scuti stars. By taking the stellar densities into account, we conclude that these cannot be p modes and confirm previous suggestions that these are probably rapidly rotating SPB stars. We also confirm that they follow two period-luminosity relations that are consistent with prograde sectoral g modes that are dipole (l = m = 1) and quadrupole (l = m = 2), respectively. One of the stars (ξ² Cen) is a hybrid pulsator that shows regular spacings in both g and p modes. We confirm that α Cru has low-amplitude p-mode pulsations, making it one of the brightest β Cephei stars in the sky. We also find several interesting binaries, including a very short-period heartbeat star (HD 132094), a previously unknown eclipsing binary (π Lup), and an eclipsing binary with high-amplitude tidally driven pulsations (HR 5846). The results clearly demonstrate the power of TESS for studying variability in stellar associations.
