Great Lakes Valley Conference
From BR Bullpen
The 14-member Great Lakes Valley Conference has made its name throughout the last 27 years as a power in NCAA Division II basketball. The formation of the GLVC can be traced as far back as 1972 when the athletic directors of three member schools - Kentucky Wesleyan, Bellarmine and Indiana State University at Evansville (now the University of Southern Indiana) - began preliminary discussions about forming a basketball conference. Four years later, the University of Indianapolis and Saint Joseph's College expressed interest. On July 7, 1978, those schools - along with Ashland University - united to become the GLVC. Current member schools are located in Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana, Missouri, and Kentucky.
