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:
“Behind the concept of woman’s strangeness is the idea that a woman may do anything: she is below society, not bound by its law, unpredictable; an attribute given to every member of the league of the unfortunate.”
—Christina Stead (1902–1983)
“In America the taint of sectarianism lies broad upon the land. Not content with acknowledging the supremacy as the Diety, and with erecting temples in his honor, where all can bow down with reverence, the pride and vanity of human reason enter into and pollute our worship, and the houses that should be of God and for God, alone, where he is to be honored with submissive faith, are too often merely schools of metaphysical and useless distinctions. The nation is sectarian, rather than Christian.”
—James Fenimore Cooper (1789–1851)
