Two of the current members, Georgetown and UVa–Wise, are currently transitioning to NCAA Division II and also have provisional membership in the Great Midwest Athletic Conference (G-MAC). UVa–Wise, now approved as a provisional NCAA member, will leave the G-MAC in July 2013 to become a charter member of the Mountain East Conference. Georgetown is still actively seeking NCAA membership, but was initially denied by that organization. It will become a full G-MAC member once approved by the NCAA.

Famous quotes containing the words member and/or schools:
“Oh, had I received the education I desired, had I been bred to the profession of the law, I might have been a useful member of society, and instead of myself and my property being taken care of, I might have been a protector of the helpless, a pleader for the poor and unfortunate.”
—Sarah M. Grimke (1792–1873)
“The schools begin with what they call the elements, and where do they end?”
—Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)
