Many have been following this rumor/story as it has grown over the past few months. The league has now officially announced the addition of Walsh and Malone.

Official Announcement of GLIAC Expansion

There have been other rumors swirling on the D2Football.com message boards, as well as in publications regarding an initiative to link up with an associate member so that there are an even number of teams (16) in the league for football. There is some truth to those rumors, but some of the details we have seen out here are not entirely accurate. Until everything gets sorted out by the league I'm not going to feed into those suspicions any further, other than to say it is an option the league may be exploring.

Conference realignment could be pervasive across the country for another year or two, but sooner or later some of this will settle down. For now, the GLIAC now has the size that its membership has been seeking and an even 16 teams for the bulk of its sports that require it for scheduling (basketball, volleyball, etc.).

I'm sure there will be more to follow. If I learn anything interesting, I'll be sure and post it in a future blog post.
