Midwest Conference

The Midwest Conference is a NCAA Division-III conference in the states of Illinois, Iowa, and Wisconsin. The modern incarnation of the conference was created in 1994 by a merger of the Midwest Collegiate Athletic Conference, which had been sponsoring men’s sports since 1921, and the Midwest Athletic Conference for Women, which was formed in 1977.

Charter schools in 1921 were Beloit , Carleton, Coe, Cornell, Knox and Lawrence.
