Conference Carolinas announced today that King College and North Greenville University have been accepted for membership in the league. Conference member institutions voted unanimously to accept both schools and expand the league to 13 teams. “Conference Carolinas enthusiastically welcomes King College and North Greenville University into our league and looks forward to extending our competitive spirit to the Tornado and Crusaders,” said Dr. Betsy Fleming, President of the Conference Carolinas Executive Committee and of Converse College. “Both schools share Conference Carolinas’ commitment to developing scholar-athletes who excel both in the classroom and on the playing field, and we are pleased to strengthen our league through their membership.” King College in Bristol, TN and North Greenville University in Tigerville, SC will become full members of Conference Carolinas for the 2011-12 season. Both schools are NCAA Division II members and already play many Conference Carolinas members. The scheduling of sports participation starting in the fall of 2011 allows sufficient time for scheduling changes and orientation to conference membership responsibilities and requirements. Both schools enter the conference as independent Division II members. http://ngcrusaders.com/article.asp?articleID=1975
