The Great Midwest Conference was an NCAA Division I athletics conference which existed from 1991 to 1995.
It was formed in 1990 with six members--Cincinnati and Memphis State (now Memphis) from the Metro Conference; UAB from the Sun Belt Conference; Marquette and Saint Louis from the Midwestern Collegiate Conference (now the Horizon League), and independent DePaul. Dayton joined in 1993.
In 1995 reunification with the Metro Conference and teams from the Southwest Conference formed Conference USA. At present (2012) only two schools, Memphis and UAB, from the Great Midwest still remain in C-USA, and as of July 2013, only UAB will remain.
