Tarleton State University President Dr. James Hurley announced today that the institution has accepted an invitation to join the Western Athletic Conference and transition to NCAA Division I effective July 1, 2020.
The invitation is contingent on Tarleton completing the four-year reclassification process from NCAA Division II. The Texans will begin WAC regular-season competition during the 2020-21 school year and be eligible for NCAA Division I postseason play beginning with the 2024-25 season.
What a historic day for Tarleton State University, Dr. Hurley said. We are next level ready - Tarleton is going Division I. I would like to thank our students, Chancellor John Sharp and The Texas A&M University System, the faculty, staff, our communities and alumni for the incredible support in making this move possible.
I would also like to thank WAC Commissioner Jeff Hurd, his staff and the WAC presidents for welcoming us with open arms. We look forward to raising the institutional profile of Tarleton State University at the NCAA Division I level.

(111,292 posts)I put football at the top, but I also enjoy basketball, volleyball and lacrosse. I attended a couple of baseball games when we played UT-Austin. The tennis, track, golf, softball, soccer, and swim teams were the sports that I never attended. Some of those programs weren't around though while I still lived in the Austin area.
