Lone Star Conference expands to 19 schools

Lone Star Conference officials announced Tuesday that the league will expand to 19 schools by the fall of 2019.

The conference currently has 11 schools, including Angelo State University. The LSC Council of Presidents recently voted unanimously to offer full membership to the University of Arkansas-Fort Smith, Dallas Baptist University, Lubbock Christian University, Oklahoma Christian University, Rogers State University, St. Edward’s University, St. Mary’s University and Texas A&M International University.

All eight schools accepted their invitation, which will make the LSC the biggest conference in the nation in NCAA Division II.

The LSC, founded on April 25, 1931, started as a five-member conference of Texas-based schools. With the latest expansion, it will have 13 members in Texas, three in Oklahoma, two in New Mexico and one in Arkansas.
