The University of St. Thomas will begin their exploratory year membership in Division III athletics on Sept. 1, 2018 according to their press release today. They will also become the 10th member of the Southern Collegiate Athletic Conference (SCAC). The SCAC includes Austin College, Centenary College, Colorado College, University of Dallas, Johnson and Wales University, Schreiner University, Southwestern University, Texas Lutheran University, Trinity University, and now University of St. Thomas.
The athletic department has grown to nine sports, which includes women’s volleyball, men’s and women’s basketball, men’s and women’s soccer, men’s and women’s golf and in 2018-2019 will compete in men’s and women’s cross-country.
St. Thomas' invitation from the SCAC requires that they successfully complete their exploratory year which will lead to them becoming a provisional member in 2019-20. Division III is the largest of any division having 451 NCAA Division III members and over 194,000 student-athletes.

How a new chapter in Astros history was just written
Jul 2, 2025, 10:45 pm
The Houston Rockets are reshaping their roster in real time — and we’re breaking it all down. In just 24 hours, the team has added Dorian Finney-Smith and Clint Capela, moves that mark a clear shift in direction under Ime Udoka. With Finney-Smith in, Dillon Brooks is out — but is this a swap that actually makes Houston better?
In this episode, we dive deep into what these signings mean for the Rockets’ identity and future. Is Finney-Smith a cleaner fit in Udoka’s system than Brooks ever was? Are these aggressive contracts smart bets or future burdens? And what does all this say about the organization’s faith in its young core — from Amen Thompson to Alperen Sengun?
We also look ahead. Is this offseason already a win, or are more moves — like a Kevin Durant extension or Cam Whitmore trade — still on the table? Let’s talk about where the Rockets stand now, and where they could be headed next.
