Corn Belt And Okaw Valley Merger Proposed

A change in high school athletics is coming. Following several departures from the Corn Belt Conference, remaining members are proposing a merger with Okaw Valley high school athletic programs. Members of both conferences have voted unanimously in favor of the merger. If approved by Superintendents and Boards, the merger would take effect in 2017. In the new conference would be: Bloomington Central Catholic, Illinois Valley Central, Olympia, Pontiac, and Prairie Central from the Corn Belt, and The High School of St. Thomas More in Champaign, Monticello, Rantoul, St. Joseph-Ogden , and Tolono Unity from the Okaw Valley Conference
