The Lone Star Conference (or LSC) is a College Athletic Conference affiliated with the NCAA’s Division II. Member institutions are located in the southwestern United States, with schools in New Mexico, Oklahoma, and Texas. The conference was formed in 1931 when the five charter members withdrew from the old Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. For scheduling purposes, the conference is divided into two divisions--North and South--in some sports. Charter members included East Texas State (now Texas A&M–Commerce), North Texas State (now North Texas), Sam Houston State, Southwest Texas State (now Texas State–San Marcos), and Stephen F. Austin. Former members (and years of membership, when known) include Harding (1995-2000; left for Gulf South), Howard Payne (now in American Southwest), Houston (1946-48; left for Gulf Coast Conference, now in Conference USA), Lamar (now in Southland), McMurry University (now in American Southwest), North Texas State (1931-48, left for Gulf Coast Conference, now in Sun Belt), Ouachita Baptist (1997-99; left for Gulf South Conference), Sam Houston State (1931-83; left for Gulf Star Conference, now in Southland), Southwest Texas State (1931-87; left for Gulf Star Conference, now in Southland), Stephen F. Austin (1931-83; Gulf Star Conference, now in Southland), Sul Ross State (now in American Southwest), and Trinity (now in SCAC).
