PacWest Conference Changing Direction
Rob Wakefield | University Advancement | 9 February 2005
Universities in Hawaii are exploring several new alternatives for their NCAA Division II Pacific West Conference after announcing that two teams from the United States mainland are leaving for another conference.
Montana State-Billings and Western New Mexico will join four universities from Texas in the Heartland Conference effective July 1, 2005. After the change, the Pacific West Conference will consist of the four universities in the islands - Hawaii-Pacific University, Chaminade, Brigham Young University Hawaii and Hawaii-Hilo.
"We look forward to this change," said BYU-Hawaii president Eric B. Shumway, who will serve as chief officer of the realigned PacWest Conference. "We want to keep the PacWest conference together because of the traditional relationships and friendly rivalries that have developed among the four Hawaiian universities over the years."
