- East Tennessee State revives football as an independent before joining Southern Conference football in 2016
- ↑ While the Ivy League considers its athletic conference to have been established in 1954, the history of the athletic league can be traced back decades earlier:
- In 1901, the Eastern Intercollegiate Basketball League (EIBL) was formed by five schools that would later become part of the current Ivy League; the EIBL membership eventually became identical to that of the future all-sports league. The EIBL was directly absorbed into the all-sports Ivy League, which considers the EIBL to be part of its history.
- In 1945, the Ivy Group Agreement, which governed competition and policies among the Ivy schools in football, was signed by all eight schools that eventually formed the all-sports league.
- The official formation of the athletic Ivy League came in 1954, when the Ivy Group Agreement was extended to cover all sports.
- ↑ While the MVFC began football competition in 1985, the conference charter dates to 1982. See History of the Missouri Valley Football Conference for more details.

- Notes
- ↑ Although the charter of the current Big East dates only to the 2013 split of the original Big East, both the current Big East and the American Athletic Conference claim 1979 as their founding dates. The current Big East maintains the pre-split history of the original conference in all sports that it sponsors. In football and rowing, the two sports that are sponsored by The American but not the current Big East, neither conference recognizes the history of the original Big East.
- ↑ While the number of members will not change, the identity of one current member will change in 2015. Texas–Pan American will merge with Texas–Brownsville to create the new University of Texas Rio Grande Valley (UTRGV). The University of Texas System has announced that UTRGV will inherit the Texas–Pan American athletic program.

Four of the seven final ALC members are full Big Ten members. A fifth school announced it would go independent, and the other two members became Big East affiliates. |
