UIW shocked the college world last week by announcing they will remain in the Southland Conference. The Cardinals had accepted an invitation and were expected to join the WAC on July 1st. However, UIW informed the WAC they would not proceed with becoming a member.
"In the ever-changing landscape of Division I athletics, change can happen fast, but it has always been our goal to find stability, the best fit, and the best opportunities for our student-athletes," UIW President Dr. Thomas M. Evans said in a release. "Today's announcement is just another example of putting those interests first. Our decision to remain in the Southland Conference will optimize class time with competition time and time in our community and allow our students to once again excel in all those areas."
