Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference (1974–1997)
The Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference was an NAIA intercollegiate athletic conference that existed from 1974 to 1997 and the second of two conferences to share this name. The conference's members were located in the state of Oklahoma.[1] Most of the team's members moved from the defunct Oklahoma Collegiate Conference in 1974, which itself evolved from the first iteration of the Oklahoma Intercollegiate Conference in 1929. The conference disbanded in 1997 after most of its members joined the NCAA Division II's Lone Star Conference.
