Conference Carolinas (D-II): Conference Carolinas dipped into Georgia to pick up Shorter University and, with them, re-launched football after a 50-year absence.
On Thursday, Conference Carolinas announced a new member and, with it, a new sport.
Shorter University will become the Division II league's 15th all-sports member starting with the 2024-25 academic year, which brings the conference to six football-playing institutions.
“This is a huge announcement for Conference Carolinas,” said commissioner Chris Colvin. “It has been a priority for us to find a way to bring football back to Conference Carolinas, and the addition of Shorter allows us to align with our member institutions to sponsor the sport. We have a great deal of work ahead of the 2025 season, but all of us in Conference Carolinas could not be any more excited. We look forward to working with all of our member institutions as Conference Carolinas football grows and thrives in the years to come.”
Here is the Conference Carolinas roster:
Barton College Wilson, N.C.
Chowan Murfreesboro, N.C.
Erskine College Due West, S.C.
UNC Pembroke Pembroke, N.C.
North Greenville Tigerville, S.C.
Shorter Rome, Ga.
