-====== Midwestern Collegiate Conference =====
-The Midwestern Collegiate Conference (now the Horizon League) was formed in 1979 by six NCAA Division I schools that originally dubbed themselves the Midwestern City 6, and officially the Midwestern City Conference (or MCC) soon thereafter. The charter members included **Butler**, **Evansville**, **Loyola**, **Oklahoma City**, **Oral Roberts** and **Xavier**. Marquette, an independent at the time of the league's formation, was one of two observing schools present during a preliminary meeting during the 73rd NCAA Convention in San Francisco on January 8, 1979; Creighton was the other school.
-In 1985, the conference's name was altered slightly to Midwestern Collegiate Conference. **Marquette** announced that it will join the MCC, effective Sept. 1, 1988. The Warriors begin competition in some non-revenue sports immediately, while the remainder of the sports begin MCC play in 1989-90.

-Marquette's tenure with the league was short-lived as they, along with St. Louis, announced on November 15, 1990 that they will be withdrawing from the league on June 30, 1991.
-Other former members of the MCC include four charter members - **Evansville**, **Oklahoma City**, **Oral Roberts**, and **Xavier** - as well as **Dayton**, **Duquesne**, **La Salle**, **Northern Illinois**, **Notre Dame**, and **St. Louis**.
-The conference again changed its name to the Horizon League on June 4, 2001, in part to avoid being confused with the Mid-Continent Conference. The current members of the Horizon League (as of the 2007-08 season) include two of the charter members - **Butler** and **Loyola, (IL)** - and **Cleveland St.**, **Detroit**, **Illinois-Chicago**, **Valparaiso**, **UW-Green Bay**, **UW-Milwaukee**, **Wright State**, and **Youngstown State.**
-For most of its existence it has generally been considered one of the top mid-major conferences in the country, particularly in men's basketball.
