He’s helped the Bronchos post back-to-back winning seasons the last two years for the first time since 2003-04, with last year’s squad setting single-season school records for first downs, passing yards, total yards and points.

Justin spent five years as an offensive lineman with the Bronchos, redshirting in 2008 and then let-tering as back-up in 2009. He started all season as a sophomore in 2010 and was part of a unit that allowed just five sacks -- second-best in Division II -- in 430 pass attempts.

Pruitt started the first three games of 2011 before suffering a season-ending injury and attempted to return the next season before again being sidelined by injury.

A two-way line starter at Choctaw High School, Pruitt collected All-District, All-Conference and Oklahoman Big All-City recognition as a senior. He played in the Oil Bowl and Jim Thorpe all-star games following his final season.

Justin received his bachelor’s degree from UCO in 2014 and is working on his master’s in biology.

ooking to continue riding the momentum gained from last year’s mid-season turnaround is a Central Oklahoma team ready to make some noise in the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association race in 2016.

The Bronchos overcame an 0-4 start to win seven of their last eight games -- including the final five in a row -- and finish 7-5 last season, capping the year with a Live United Texarkana Bowl victory to post their second straight winning season.

Now, with 19 players back who started at least five games in 2015 and a roster stocked with loads of talent, UCO is poised to contend for the league title and an NCAA Division II playoff berth.

‘‘We had a couple of big wins at the end of last year, beating Pittsburg State and winning the bowl game, that really gave us a boost going into the off-season,” said fifth-year head coach Nick Bobeck. ‘‘Our kids believe in what we’re doing and believe in themselves. They believe we can win big football games and that was one of the biggest hurdles we had.”

The Bronchos featured one of the most powerful offenses in the country last year in averaging 486.9 yards a game and could be even better this year behind a proven line and a batch of experienced playmakers.

Several starters must be replaced on defense, but athletically UCO looks to actually be better on that side of the ball and special teams should be a strength with the presence of one of the league’s best place-kickers.

‘‘We lost some key guys, but over the course of our time here we’ve built good depth and can absorb those losses better,” Bobeck said. ‘‘We need to find the leaders of this football team and have the chemistry we had at the end of last season, but we’ve got good talent.

‘‘In our league you can’t have ups and downs because good teams take advantage of those swings. We need con-sistency and that’s something we’re really striving for.”

Here’s a position-by-position look at UCO:

offenSeLINE: Probably the strongest position on the team

and one of the best in Division II. The Bronchos have great experience and depth up front, with this unit prepared to lead what should be another high-powered offensive attack.

Five players who started at least five games last year are back along with five other lettermen and competition will be fierce for playing time.

Senior center Brandon Waggoner (6-1, 312) returns to anchor the line and is one of the best in the conference, while junior tackles Sam Noble (6-5, 315) and Mvhayv Locust (6-8, 282) both started all last season.

Senior Mason McLaughlin (6-3, 270) started at left guard the first five games of 2016 before going out with injury and junior Aaron Williams (6-3, 309) took over the rest of the way. They should both be in the lineup this fall.

Senior Micah Goodman (6-5, 302) and junior Leighton Light (6-2, 280) have each seen starting duty in the past and will push for playing time, with junior Hunter Chalfant (6-5, 310) and sophomores Noah Hammons (6-2, 290) and David Seagle (6-5, 296) returning lettermen who provide additional experience.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘I think we’ll have a unit that will be as talented as any that’s come through here and one of the most talented in the country. We’ve got to have someone step into a leadership role, but it’s a really talented group of linemen and I’m excited about our depth.”

RECEIVER: There are weapons here, though several players the Bronchos are counting on haven’t seen much playing time.

Leading the way will be senior Connor Pulley (6-4, 228) and junior Josh Crockett (6-4, 195), a pair of big-play threats and returning starters capable of doing plenty of damage. Pulley averaged 18.0 yards a catch last season in grabbing 24 passes for 432 yards and four touchdowns, while Crockett had 20 receptions for 276 yards and three scores.

UCO expects explosive redshirt freshman L’liott Curry (6-2, 207), junior Paten Bond (6-1, 194) and sophomore Tyler Sipe (6-3, 222) to step up and become prime targets this fall, with several gifted freshmen also expected to help out.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘We have a talented group of receivers, but where’s the chemistry, where’s the fit? Those are the questions we have to an-swer. Connor is definitely the leader, he’s started the last three years and we’re excited about what he brings to our football team. It will be interesting to see what happens and I’m excited to see us develop here.”

TIGHT END/H-BACK: UCO returns a two-year starter in junior Caleb Moss (6-3, 231), who has excelled at this difficult position. He has 38 catches for 406 yards the past two seasons in addition to becoming a tough blocker.

Moss is the only player with experience here, though the Bronchos are counting on redshirt freshmen Marshall Tolson (6-4, 235) and Daxton Williams (6-4, 258) to provide help. Several freshmen will also vie for playing time.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘This is a hardest position in our offense besides quarterback because we ask them to do so much. Caleb had an outstanding spring and has done an unbelievable job and we’ve got some younger guys we’re excited about.”

RUNNING BACK: The Bronchos feature two of the best in the business here, with juniors Jake Gandara (5-10, 201) and Clay McKenzie (5-11, 209) having both proved they can be the feature back and handle a

heavy running load.Gandara was a second-team All-MIAA

choice in 2014 when he rushed for 1,121 yards and 13 touchdowns on 194 carries, averaging a healthy 5.8 yards an attempt. He went into last season as the starter, but left early in the

third quarter of the opener with a knee injury and McKenzie took over.McKenzie went on to power his way to a league-leading 1,499 yards

and 19 TDs on 246 carries, netting 6.1 yards a pop. He added 43 recep-tions for 403 yards and two more scores in earning first-team All-MIAA honors and honorable mention All-America acclaim.

Gandara is healthy now, giving UCO a dynamic duo ready to wreak havoc on opposing defenses while running behind one of the best lines in the country.

The Bronchos will have to depend on untested youngsters for depth.Bobeck Says: ‘‘This is another position that I’m interested to see

what happens. We have two starters back and they have two completely different styles. Jake is more of a slasher and is real fluid. Clay’s a grinder, a throwback who wears on people. We’ll see what happens, but we’re really talented here.”

QUARTERBACK: Another position with basically two returning starters as senior T.J. Eckert (6-0, 207) and junior Chas Stallard (6-0, 210) have each had great success directing UCO’s potent offensive attack.

Stallard started all of 2014 and the first half of last season, with the dual threat having already passed for 3,096 yards and run for 1,186 during his two-year career.

Eckert took over down the stretch last year and led UCO to six wins in the last seven games. He completed 66.7 percent of his passes for 2,137 yards and 16 touchdowns while adding 262 rushing yards in picking up third-team All-MIAA recognition.

Eckert enters the pre-season atop the depth chart, but both are obvi-ously capable of handling the job and there’s no doubt that Stallard will also see plenty of action.

A pair of true freshmen will back up the veterans.Bobeck Says: ‘‘We feel really good about the quarterback position.

T.J. played exceptionally well at the end of last year and Chas played extremely well the season before. Both guys continue to compete and both will play. I like the leadership of those two guys. They’re unself-ish and root for each other.”

DefenSeLINE: Perhaps the strongest area of the

defense with the return of a trio of start-ers, with all three capable of ranking among the best in the conference.

Senior Deontay Wil-son (6-2, 296) leads the way and is joined on the interior by sophomore Carson Smith (6-2, 316), with junior Collis Walker (6-2, 274) back to man one of the end spots.

Wilson was a third-team All-MIAA pick last year after making 25 tackles and keeping plenty of blockers busy, while Walker had 36 stops with 5.5 for loss in earning honorable mention all-league honors. The powerfully-built Smith took over a starting role early in his true freshman season and had 26 tackles with 5.0 for loss.

Several players are vying to fill the other starting role at end, with junior transfer Vinnie Consentino (6-3, 254) the top candidate. Sophomores Eli Hooks (6-1, 224), Jordan Stafford (6-4, 233) and Trey Wormington (6-6, 232) are also in the mix there and all three should see plenty of playing time.

Redshirt freshman Jacob Oakley (6-5, 268) and sophomore Chantz Woodberry (6-0, 255) provide depth on the interior, with several newcomers expected to also help there.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘I feel really good about the line with three starters back who are all extremely talented, but we’ve got to do a better job of pressuring the quarterback with our front four. What we’re worried about is the guys here who haven’t played football for us and in our league. There’s a little unknown there.”

LINEBACKER: There’s plenty of talent here, but experience is a concern with the return of just one starter and two other lettermen.

Senior Ben Jones (6-0, 205) is the lone starter back and he missed spring drills with a knee injury suffered late last season. The speedy Jones made 51 tackles while leading the team in tackles for loss (11.5) and sacks (5.0) as an honorable mention All-MIAA selection.

Sophomores Colton Lindsey (6-4, 215) and Denver Beebe (6-0, 200) are returning lettermen, with Lindsey making 34 tackles in ex-tended action a year ago.

Redshirt freshman Chris Pogi (6-1, 231) and junior transfer Hank Humphers (6-1, 210) are expected to step into starting roles this season, with the Bronchos expecting big things from both players.

UCO will also be counting on several other unproven players and freshman newcomers to help with depth.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘Hank has a chance to be exceptional for us in the middle, he has a natural feel for the game of football. Chris is a natural pass-rush guy and we’ll put him in situations to create pressure. Ben was our leader in sacks last year and played really good at the end of the year, he’s a big-time playmaker for our football team. We’ll see what happens. It’s all about how the guys mesh together and finding the right unit. We’re excited about this group of kids.”

SECONDARY: There’s only one returning starter here, though the Bronchos are excited about the overall athleticism of this group.

Fleet-footed junior Omari Cole (5-11, 190) is the lone starter back and the unquestioned leader of the secondary. He had 34 tackles with seven broken up passes and one interception last year and will fill a cornerback slot once again.

Junior lettermen DeVaughn Abram (5-9, 175) and Braden Calip (5-9, 196) provide additional experience at cornerback, with transfers Barry Higdon (6-3, 201) and Anthony Wilkinson (5-11, 185) and sophomore squadman Malik Walker (5-10, 172) all ready to push for playing time.

UCO lost both safety starters, but senior Austin Steele (5-11, 190) and juniors Trent Ellis (5-10, 177) and Riley Galyon (5-11, 190) all saw extensive action a year ago while sophomore Addison Staggs (5-10, 178) was a part-time starter in 2014 before missing last year to injury.

Redshirt freshman O’Shay Harris (6-1, 185) and junior transfer Dakota Diessner (5-11, 180) are also expected to contend for action at safety.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘The back end is where we’ve got a lot of competition going on. We lost three starters, but feel like

we’ve got a group of athletes who can do some special things. We think we’ve got six cornerbacks who can

play the game, now the question is finding out who it’s going to be. We gave up too many explosive

plays last year and that’s something we have to improve on. Our safe-

ties are more athletic than we have been, but the problem

is experience and that’s where we have to, as a coaching staff, put guys

out there who can put us in the right position. We have to figure out who fits in those spots.”

SPecial teamSThe Bronchos feature one of the conference’s best kickers in senior

Seth Hiddink (6-4, 223) and also have their top punter back in Chris-tian Fulham (6-0, 243).

Hiddink was a third-team All-MIAA pick last year after making a single-season school-record 17 field goals and has scored 252 career points with 43 field goals and 123 extra points. He will also handle kickoff duties for the fourth straight year.

Fulham averaged 35.5 yards a punt and really came on late in the season.

UCO has plenty of choices in the return game, though who will be utilized won’t be decided until pre-season drills.

Bobeck Says: ‘‘Christian got more consistent at end of last year and has a big leg. We feel very, very strong about Seth. This will be his fourth year and he’s made a lot of big kicks. We’ve got guys we can use on returns, but just don’t know who they are yet.”

GAME 1Fort Hays State 30Central Oklahoma 29

EDMOND (Sept. 3) – Turnovers pre-vented Central Oklahoma from taking a commanding first-half lead and Fort Hays State made the Bronchos pay at the end in the 2016 season opener at Wantland Stadium.

A big first-half lead that could have easily been 14 points higher turned into a bitter 30-29 loss for UCO when the Tigers made a 19-yard field goal on the final play of the game to disappoint a vocal crowd of 7,189.

The Bronchos lost just five fumbles in 2015, but UCO committed four miscues on the night. Two of those fumbles came in the first half at the FHSU one- and three-yard-lines, keeping a 20-0 lead from swelling.

UCO led 20-0 with 5:53 left in the open-ing half, but the Tigers took advantage of the fumbles to roar back and take a 27-23 lead late in the third quarter.

The Bronchos answered back with a 71-yard touchdown drive to regain the lead on Chas Stallard’s 19-yard scoring pass to a wide-open Connor Pulley, but Seth Hid-dink’s extra point bounced off the left upright to leave UCO up two, 29-27, with 9:30 left.

The teams then traded punts before FHSU ran the final five minutes off the clock in moving 85 yards down the field to set up the short game-winning field goal.

Stallard directed a quick-hitting offense that ran off 89 plays in racking up 510 yards, completing 29-of-39 passes for 281 yards and three TDs while also running for 75 yards.

GAME 2Missouri Western 26Central Oklahoma 16

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (Sept. 12) – A momentum-changing safety call in the second quarter helped Missouri Western take a commanding halftime lead and Central Oklahoma couldn’t recover in dropping a 26-16 decision

The Bronchos trailed 7-0 when Levonte Douglas intercepted a pass on the run at the UCO five-yard-line. Douglas downed the ball in the end zone for what appeared to be a touchback, but officials ruled that he ran in and scored the play a safety for the Griffons to make it 9-0.

MWSU scored on a 62-yard touchdown drive after the free kick and added a last-second field goal for a 19-0 halftime advantage.

The Griffons made it a commanding 26-0 lead on a 76-yard scoring pass early in the third quarter and then held off a furious UCO rally.

Seth Hiddink’s 43-yard field goal with 5:06 left in the third quarter cut the deficit to 26-3 and UCO missed out on two golden scoring chances early in the fourth period before the defense came through when linebacker Ben Jones scored on a 15-yard fumble return with 8:36 left.

The Bronchos forced a quick punt and needed just six plays to cover 66 yards, with Chas Stal-lard’s three-yard TD pass to tight end Darrack Harger making it 26-16 with 4:37 remaining.

GAME 3Emporia State 38Central Oklahoma 28

EDMOND (Sept. 19) – Central Oklahoma couldn’t keep pace with Emporia State’s high-octane attack in a 38-28 Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association setback at Wantland Stadium.

The unbeaten Hornets racked up 32 first downs and ran off 95 plays in rolling up 530 total yards, but didn’t clinch the win until scoring on a one-yard touchdown run with 1:56 to play to arrange the final score.

The winless Bronchos actually had more time of possession (31:58-28:02) despite running 30 less plays and finished with 396 yards, passing for 203 and rushing for 193.

Running back Clay McKenzie sparked the Bronchos with 13 carries for 115 yards and two scores. Quarterback Chas Stallard was 18-of-27 passing for 203 yards and a TD in addition to running 12 times for 35 yards and a score, while wide receiver J.T. Luper caught eight passes for 104 yards and a TD.

Linebacker Malcolm Howard was all over the field for UCO in finishing with a career-high 19 tackles and safety David Busby made a career-best 16 stops.

McKenzie rushed for 48 yards in the fourth quarter alone and clinched the win with an 11-yard touchdown run in the final minutes, while Howard was all over the field in a dominating 17-tackle outing as the Bronchos snapped a six-game losing streak.

The Lopers had touchdown passes of 73 and 80 yards in addition to scoring on a 67-yard interception return, but UCO scored the final 13 points to rally for the much-needed win.

UCO racked up 269 of its 420 yards on the ground, getting 141 on 22 carries from McKen-zie and 105 in 21 tries from quarterback Chas Stallard.

Stallard was also 19-of-32 passing for 151 yards, completing passes to eight different receiv-ers. Place-kicker Seth Hiddink was clutch with three field goals and three extra points.

The Bronchos came up with the big fourth-down stop late in the game when Carson Smith and Kenny Allen led a defensive charge that prevented UNK from converting a fourth-and-one at its own 30-yard-line.

UCO took over with 2:33 remaining and the offensive line asserted itself on four consecutive McKenzie carries straight up the middle. The hard-charging sophomore crashed in from 11 yards out on the final one to make it 36-24 and seal the verdict.

GAME 4Northwest Missouri 23Central Oklahoma 16

MARYVILLE, Mo. (Sept. 26) -- Two big turnovers derailed Central Oklahoma’s gallant upside bid against No. 3-ranked Northwest Missouri.

The Bronchos played inspired defense all day against the eventual national champion Bearcats, but NWMSU scored 14 points off a blocked punt and a 56-yard interception return that led to a short scoring run and that was the difference in a tough 23-16 setback.

The Bronchos had a chance to force overtime in the final minutes, but Chas Stal-lard’s long fourth-down pass was knocked down at the NWMSU 20-yard-line in the final seconds.

UCO managed just 266 yards against the Bearcats, rushing for 141 and passing for 125 as Stallard completed 11-of-35 attempts.

JOPLIN, Mo. (Oct. 10) – T.J. Eckert got a surprise start at quarterback and spear-headed a record-setting offensive assault that carried Central Oklahoma to a 55-21 mauling of Missouri Southern.

Eckert made his first start of the season and completed 26-of-38 passes for 353 yards with three touchdowns while directing an attack that piled up 661 yards with a school-record 37 first downs.

The Bronchos led 14-0 six minutes into the game, took a commanding 31-7 advantage into intermission despite committing three turnovers and were never tested in winning their second straight game.

UCO’s line of center Brandon Waggoner, guards Landon Chappell and Aaron Wil-liams and tackle Sam Noble and Mvhayv Locust overwhelmed the Lions all game long in leading the impressive offensive output.

The Bronchos passed for 368 yards and rushed for 293 more in finishing with their 661 total, the second-best figure in school history.

TAHLEQUAH, Okla. (Oct. 31) – There was no need for tricks, but there were plenty of treats for Central Oklahoma in a Hallow-een rout of intrastate rival Northeastern State.

The Bronchos used a punishing running attack and dominating defensive effort to easily retain the President’s Cup with a 48-17 drubbing of the RiverHawks in winning for the fourth time in five games.

UCO’s offensive line dominated up front in constantly opening up big running lanes and the Bronchos rolled up 424 rushing yards, the fourth-best game in school history.

Hard-charging Clay McKenzie led the way with 33 carries for 248 yards – tied for the third-best game in UCO history – and three touchdowns.

Back-up quarterback Chas Stallard added 83 yards in just eight attempts and Greg Johnson had 51 yards and one TD in 11 tries.

PITTSBURG, Kan. (Nov. 14) – T.J. Eckert and Clay McKenzie keyed an offensive outburst that carried Central Oklahoma to a resounding 49-31 rout of Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics Association rival Pittsburg State in the regular season finale.

The Bronchos jumped on top 14-0 five minutes into the game, racked up 432 first-half yards in taking a 35-17 lead and were never really tested in winning their fourth straight game and beating the Gorillas for the first time since 1968.

UCO eclipsed the 600-yard mark for the third time of the season in finishing with 635 total yards, the fifth-highest total in school history.

Eckert completed 31-of-41 passes for 410 yards and three touchdowns, while McKenzie rushed for 167 yards and three TDs on just 17 carries. J.T. Luper ended up with nine catches for 149 yards and two scores.

2016 UCO FOOtball

Central Oklahoma has qualified for the national playoffs 10 times in its history, winning two cham-pionships.

UCO made it to the NAIA playoffs six times, capped by championship seasons in 1962 and 1982, and has made four NCAA Division II playoff appear-ances. The Bronchos are 10-8 in the playoffs -- 11-7 with a forfeit -- and 5-1 at home.

Central made its first playoff appearance in 1962, winning two games to capture the university’s first-ever national title. The Bronchos qualified again in 1972, ’79, ’82, ’83 and ’85, finishing runner-up in 1979 and winning their second national title in 1982.

UCO first qualified for the Division II playoffs in 1996, then made back-to-back showings in 1998-99 before going back in 2003.

A brief look at UCO’s playoff appearances:

OKLAHOMA CITY, Okla. -- Top-ranked Cen-tral Oklahoma had no problem in its first-ever playoff contest, advancing to the NAIA national champion-ship game with a 20-0 rout of College of Emporia (Kan.) in a battle of unbeatens at Taft Stadium.

The Bronchos limited the Hornets to 163 yards to-tal offense while rolling up 324 yards rushing, topped by R.L. Briggs’ 23-carry, 151-yard performance.

Jim Davis put UCO on top early in the second period when he recovered a fumble in the end zone and the Bronchos went ahead 13-0 later in the quarter on a one-yard TD run by Briggs and Jack Kieder’s extra point.

It stayed that way until midway through the fourth quarter when Briggs scored from two yards out for a 20-0 lead that wrapped up the win.

PUEBLO, Colo. -- Colorado State-Pueblo was simply no match for Central Oklahoma in the first round of the 1982 NAIA playoffs as the fifth-ranked Bronchos scored in two plays to open the game and went on to a 61-20 rout.

UCO, which barely qualified for the playoffs after starting the season 3-2, racked up 411 yards in the first half to take a 40-7 lead and was never threatened.

The Bronchos needed just two plays to score the game’s first touchdown, with quarterback Randy Page hitting Willie Henderson from 35 yards out. Page later scored on a one-yard sneak and added a 31-yard TD pass to Henderson as UCO opened up a 20-0 lead.

Steve McKeaver tallied on a 45-yard run and Page tossed a 32-yard pass to Henderson for his third TD reception of the half en route to 40-7 halftime lead.

EDMOND, Okla. -- Central Oklahoma had probably its worst offensive game of the season, but came through in the clutch when it needed to in trimming previously unbeaten Colorado Mesa, 14-11, at Wantland Stadium to capture its second NAIA national championship.

UCO netted only 165 yards total offense against the Mavericks, but came up with a couple of crucial fourth-quarter interceptions to help secure the win.

Randy Page’s 28-yard touchdown pass to Daric Zeno in the second period gave the Bronchos a 7-3 halftime lead before Mesa used a touchdown and safety to go ahead 11-7 early in the fourth quarter.

EDMOND, Okla. -- Central Oklahoma’s hopes of a second straight NAIA national title were dashed in the first round of the 1983 playoffs as Saginaw Valley rallied from a 13-0 fourth-quarter deficit to upset the Bronchos, 14-13, at Wantland Stadium.

UCO, which finished 8-1-1 and had a 16-game non-losing streak ended, was on top 13-0 heading into the final 15 minutes, thanks to a four-yard touchdown run by Randy Page in the second quarter and a one-yard Bruce Vann TD burst in the third period.

But the Cardinals, with a stiff wind at their backs, drew within 13-7 early in the fourth quarter, then scored on a trick play -- a 48-yard pass-lateral -- to take the lead with just 1:28 left in the game.

UCO didn’t give up, however, as Page completed passes for 36 yards to Daric Zeno and 20 yards to Willie Henderson in moving the Bronchos to Saginaw’s 31-yard-line before he was intercepted with 26 seconds left.

Central Oklahoma is in its fifth year as a member of the Mid-Amer-ica Intercollegiate Athletics Association.

The MIAA, a 14-member conference of NCAA Division II insti-tutions in Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska and Oklahoma, was first or-ganized in 1912 as the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association.

Over the past 100 years, the MIAA has gained the reputation of be-ing one of the top NCAA Division II conferences in the nation. MIAA schools have won 15 NCAA team championships and, since 1964, over 160 individual national titles.

The MIAA currently conducts champi-onships in eight sports for men and nine for women.

For the men, champions are crowned in football, cross country, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, baseball, tennis and golf.

The women compete for titles in vol-leyball, cross country, soccer, basketball, indoor and outdoor track & field, softball, golf and tennis.

The MIAA turned a new page on July 1, 1992, when the NCAA Division II confer-ence changed its name from the Missouri Intercollegiate Athletic Association to the Mid-America Intercollegiate Athletics As-sociation.

The decision to make the change originated in 1989, when Pittsburg State and Washburn became the first schools outside the state of Mis-souri to gain membership in the MIAA.

The conference was first organized in 1912 with 14 member institu-tions. Of those original members, Central Missouri, Truman State and Northwest Missouri State still remain a part of the MIAA.

The first change in membership came in 1924, when the MIAA reorganized to include only the five regional Missouri state colleges:

MId-aMerICa InterCOllegIate athletICs assOCIatIOn

Central Missouri, Truman (at the time known as Northeast Missouri State), Northwest Missouri, Southeast Missouri State and Southwest Missouri State (now Missouri State).

Over the next 56 years, three schools joined the membership: Mis-souri School of Mines (later Missouri-Rolla) in 1935, Lincoln in 1970 and the Missouri-St. Louis in 1980.

Ken Jones became the first full-time commissioner of the MIAA in 1981 and would be in the position for 16 years, retiring in 1997. Ralph

McFillen succeeded Jones, serving 10 years before his retirement in 2007.

Jim Johnson succeeded McFillen in July of that year and served as commissioner until September of 2010, when Dr. Bob Boerigter took over.

Southwest Baptist brought membership back to eight schools in 1986, before the major expansion of the conference in 1989. Pittsburg State, Washburn, Missouri South-ern and Missouri Western began competi-tion in the 1989-90 season.

Southeast Missouri State left the MIAA following the 1990-91 season and was re-placed by Emporia State in the 1991-92 season.

Missouri-St. Louis departed the MIAA in 1996, Missouri-Rolla left in 2005 and

Lincoln forfeited its membership in 1999. Fort Hays State joined the MIAA in 2006, Nebraska-Omaha entered the league in 2008 and Lin-coln re-joined the conference in 2010.

UCO, Lindenwood, Nebraska-Kearney and Northeastern State all become league members with the start of the 2012-13 academic year.

Nebraska-Omaha left the league in 2011 and Truman State did the same in 2013, which leaves the conference with 14 schools. Lincoln and SBU are associate members and don’t compete in football.
