Founded in 1932, the Northern Intercollegiate Conference (NIC) has enjoyed a varied existence in the upper Midwest region it calls home. In the spring of 1992 the Northern Sun Intercollegiate Conference (NSIC) was formed out of the merger of the NIC, the men’s conference, and the women’s Northern Sun Conference (NSC). The NSC had existed since 1979. The NSIC is currently made up of institutions from Iowa, Minnesota, Nebraska, North and South Dakota.

In the 1999-00 academic year, the NSIC became an expanded 10-team league from a previous seven-member conference. The conference featured eight members from 2004-05 until 2005-06 but the league expanded back to 10 teams in 2006-07 as the University of Mary in Bismarck, N.D., and Upper Iowa University in Fayette, Iowa, joined the league.

Since 1932, various institutions have competed in the NSIC. Bemidji State University, Minnesota State University Moorhead and Winona State University are charter members and have remained in the conference for the 76 years of its existence. The University of Minnesota Duluth, which departed following the 2003-04 season and will return in 2008-09, was also an original member. Other current members joined in later years: Southwest Minnesota State University in 1969, Northern State University in 1978, Wayne State College (Nebraska) in 1998, Concordia University-St. Paul and the University of Minnesota, Crookston in 1999 and the University of Mary and Upper Iowa University in 2006. The University of Minnesota, Morris became a league member in 1966, however, the Cougars opted for the NCAA Division III ranks in 2003. The 2008-09 season is one of transition for the NSIC. The league will expand to 14 teams with the addition of Minnesota State University, Mankato, Augustana College, St. Cloud State University and Minnesota Duluth. The addition of these four regionally recognized institutions will push the NSIC into the upper echelon of NCAA Division II athletics.

Before the NSIC became eligible for National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) championship competition in 1995, its member institutions had an extremely rich tradition in the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA). The NIC’s and NSC’s tenure in the NAIA included several national championship teams and individuals as well as many national qualifiers.

Following the 2004-05 season, Winona State became the first team other than Minnesota Duluth to capture the NSIC All-Sports Competition trophy. The Warriors have taken home the trophy now the last four seasons. The Warriors put the NSIC on the map in 2006 as they hosted and won the NCAA North Central Regional Tournament and advanced to the Elite Eight. Although Winona State wasn’t the first men’s basketball team to compete in the Elite Eight (SW Minnesota State in 2001 & Northern State in 1998) they were the first to win it. The National Championship for Winona State marked the first NCAA Title for any NSIC institution.

However, since WSU’s title to conclude the 2004-05 campaign, the Warriors have added another championship to their basketball trophy case (2007-08) while Concordia University-St. Paul garnered a volleyball national championship in 2007.

Since 2000, the NSIC has participated in the only officially-sanctioned NCAA Division II football bowl game in the country. With a rich history dating back to 1948, the Mineral Water Bowl is hosted by the Quarterback Club of Excelsior Springs., Mo. The game matches the highest-finishing team from the NSIC not selected for the NCAA Division II playoffs against the highest-finishing team from the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association (MIAA) not participating in the NCAA Division II playoffs. Now in its 41st year, the first game was played on Thanksgiving Day, 1948. The first MIAA/NSIC meeting in 2000 marked the Mineral Water Bowl’s inaugural year of the Division II era. Winona State defeated Missouri Western State, 43-41, in triple overtime, marking the Warriors first-ever postseason win at the Division II level.

The league gears up for the upcoming academic year with the annual NSIC Summer Kickoff Event the last weekend in July. The event includes the NSIC Golf Tournament, Hall of Fame Banquet, officiating clinics and meetings involving the conference leadership.

The Northern Sun Showcase television program returns to the airwaves again on Fox Sports Net North. The Northern Sun Spotlight radio show will air on several stations throughout the Midwest for 20 weeks during 2007-08 sports season.

Over the years, the NSIC, comprised of schools of modest size, has provided extremely competitive intercollegiate athletic programs for its members. Although the programs are not designed to be equal to Division I athletics, many former NSIC athletes have distinguished themselves in national and international competition. Each member school emphasizes the educational, entertainment and unifying value of sports while pointing with pride to the many advantages to be gained by attending these colleges and universities. As some affiliated with the conference have coined, the NSIC quite possibly is, “the most competitive conference in NCAA Division II.”
