ACU Receives Invitation To Join Southland Conference

By: Lance Fleming, ACU Assistant Director of Athletics for Media Relations
Updated: August 20, 2012
Abilene Christian University has received an official invitation from the Southland Conference to join its league and move to NCAA Division I affiliation in all sports. Because of previous schedule commitments, the football team would begin SLC play in 2014, but all other sports would begin Division I competition with the 2013-14 school year.

The ACU Board of Trustees and the administration will discuss the invitation this weekend at the Board's regularly scheduled meeting and make a determination as to whether or not ACU will accept the invitation.  

If ACU accepts the invitation, we will host a press conference Saturday, Aug. 25, at 12:30 p.m. in the Hunter Welcome Center to make the official announcement.

No ACU administrator, coach or student-athlete are available for comment until Saturday.
