Chicago State University joins new collegiate sports conference
CHICAGO (CBS) – Chicago State University finally has a new conference home.
The Cougars will join the Northeast Conference on July 1 and begin participating in the NEC with fall sports next year.
Chicago State's teams will immediately be eligible to participate in NEC Championships.
CSU was without a conference to call its own since leaving the WAC last year.
The university has had to piecemeal together schedules as an independent school across different sports. CSU also launched a fundraising campaign to explore adding football to its athletic program.
