The Lone Star Conference (LSC) is a collegiate athletic conference affiliated with the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) Division II level. Member institutions are located in the southwestern United States, with schools in Texas, Oklahoma and New Mexico.

Only Texas A&M–Commerce is still a member of LSC and in Division II; the other schools moved up to Division I, with North Texas and Texas State in the top-level FBS while Stephen F.

Below is a timeline of the Conference's history.[1][2]

Austin State College (now Stephen F. Austin State University). The conference constitution required member schools to sponsor football, basketball, track & field and tennis. The 1931-32 basketball season was the first sport to be competed within the conference. At the first annual conference business meeting on December 12, 1931, Trinity University was admitted to the LSC, effectively for the 1932-33 academic year.
  • 1933 - Trinity University announced that the school was withdrawing from the LSC to return to the Texas Conference, but would still compete in the LSC until the 1933-34 academic year.
  • 1934 - At the annual LSC business meeting in December, conference presidents considered Texas A&I University (now Texas A&M University–Kingsville), Sul Ross State University and West Texas State Teachers College (then West Texas State University, now West Texas A&M University) for admittance, but full membership was not granted at that time.

  • 1942 - At the December 12, 1942 conference meeting, the LSC Faculty Athletics Representatives approved football and basketball as conference sports during the war as long as transportation was available. All spring sports, excluding track, were discontinued.
  • 1945 - On November 9, 1945, and with the end of World War II, a called meeting of conference directors of athletics and faculty athletics representatives was held in Waco, Texas.

  • 1991 - On November 25, 1991, the LSC Directors of Athletics requested Central Oklahoma's John "Skip" Wagnon to invite representatives from Henderson State University, the University of Central Arkansas, Fort Hays State University and Midwestern State University to a meeting on January 7, 1992, during the NCAA Convention.

The catalyst had been the fragmentation of NAIA Division I with member institutions moving to NCAA Division II. Discussion centered on universities in Oklahoma and Arkansas that had applied to NCAA Division II and the rationale for expansion.

Further, there was a minimal downside to the proposed expansion/realignment.
  • 1995 - On October 11, 1995, on a conference call of the LSC Council of Presidents, a recommendation was unanimously approved to extend invitations to Northeastern State University, Southeastern Oklahoma State University, the University of Central Arkansas, Harding University, and Ouachita Baptist University for LSC membership.

  • 1996 - Southwestern Oklahoma State University and East Central University were admitted to the LSC. With 17 members, the Lone Star Conference began competition with a North/South divisional alignment.

  • 2010 - The University of the Incarnate Word was admitted to the LSC.

In the 2014 season a conference playoff was added due to the small number of football programs in the conference. At the end of the season the teams were guaranteed two more conference games in the Lone Star Conference playoffs, the teams were split into two separate brackets, the championship bracket (seeds 1-4) and the non-championship bracket (seeds 5-7).
