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.
The conference was formed in 1931 when five schools withdrew from the old Texas Intercollegiate Athletic Association. 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), and Stephen F. Austin. Among the five charter members, only Texas A&M–Commerce remains in Division II and in the conference – the other four charter members moved up to Division I (in football, North Texas and Texas State compete in NCAA Division I FBS, while Stephen F. Austin and Sam Houston compete in NCAA Division I FCS).
The Lone Star Conference shares operates from the same headquarters complex in the Dallas suburb of Richardson as the American Southwest Conference.
