LAWRENCE, Kan. (AP) — Haskell Indian Nations University officials are planning to meet with university athletes to determine if they will stay at the school after learning that its athletics conference will be dissolved.
The school announced Thursday that it had been informed the Midlands Collegiate Athletic Conference was dissolving because it has only three members and an effort to stabilize it failed.
Haskell will compete independently in the next school year.
The Lawrence Journal-World reports it is unclear if the school will join another intercollegiate athletic conference after the upcoming year.
The Midland Collegiate Athletic Conference’s other two remaining schools, Central Christian College of McPherson, and the College of the Ozarks in Point Lookout, Missouri, also will be independent next year.
