====== North Star Conference (NSC) ===== The Midwestern Collegiate Conference kicked off their inaugural season in 1984 with six NCAA Division I schools. The charter members included **DePaul**, **Detroit**, **Evansville**, **Loyola (IL)**, **Notre Dame** and **Xavier (OH)**. In 1985, Dayton joined the league. **Marquette** entered the conference in 1986 as Detroit, Evansville, Loyola (IL) and Xavier (OH) left. But Marquette's tenure with the league was also short-lived as they exited the league after the 1988-89 season. Other teams joined after Marquette's departure and some stayed until the league's disbandment in 1992: **Akron**, **Cleveland State**, **Illinois-Chicago**, **Northern Illinois**, **Valparaiso** and **Wisconsin-Green Bay.** Six of the remaining teams eventually moved to the [[Mid-Continent Conferece]]. ===== Regular Season Basketball Champions ===== * **1984-85:** Loyola (IL) * **1985-86:** Notre Dame * **1986-87:** Notre Dame * **1987-88:** DePaul * **1988-89:** DePaul * **1989-90:** Northern Illinois / Notre Dame * **1990-91:** Northern Illinois * **1991-92:** Wisconsin-Green Bay * **1992-93:** Wisconsin-Green Bay
