The Pennsylvania State Athletic Conference has established itself as one of the finest NCAA Division
II men’s basketball conferences in the nation, with several teams annually representing the league in the
NCAA post-season tournament.
The PSAC is divided into seven-team Divisions, with California, Clarion, Edinboro, Indiana, Lock
Haven^ Shippensburg, and Slippery Rock making up the West, and Bloomsburg, Cheyney, East
Stroudsburg, Kutztown, Mansfield, Millersville and West Chester forming the East. The top four teams from
the East and West meet in the conference post-season tournament, with the winner earning an automatic
NCAA berth.
The PSAC was founded in 1951 for the purpose of promoting and administering the athletic programs
at the 14 state teachers colleges in the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. From its inception, each confer­

(NCAA) and the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). In 1980, however, the president’s
of each school, which make up the league’s Board of Directors, voted to reclassify to NCAA Division II membership. Nine schools also elect to partici­
