The University of Texas at Dallas has been accepted as an NCAA Division II provisional member as announced by the NCAA Division II Membership Committee and Management Council on Thursday, July 11. The Comets began the process of transition in the summer of 2023 after being invited to join the Lone Star Conference (LSC) last July. They will start an expedited, two-year transition process with the goal of being a full Division II member on Sept. 1, 2026. UT Dallas wrapped its final season of Division III and American Southwest Conference (ASC) competition in May after a 26-year run, encompassing the program’s entire history since 1998. We are delighted to be joining the esteemed ranks of NCAA Division II and the Lone Star Conference,” said Angela Marin, UTD’s director of athletics.
