The charter members of the conference were University of Houston, Midwestern University (now Midwestern State University), North Texas State University (now University of North Texas), and Trinity University. The Gulf Coast Conference spawned from then members of the Lone Star Conference, and its president was D.L. Ligon. With the exception of Houston as a University division member (later known as Division I), all members of the conference were classified as part of the NCAA's College division, which was later subdivided into Division II and Division III in 1973.
