Newly formed conference

[edit]

I've removed from the article the following information recently inserted (Special:Diff/1248135879) concerning a new conference. Don't think it belongs there, but instead needs a new page of its own (if warranted). Placing it here to make starting the new page easier. It has been altered a little from the text as inserted, as I started to edit it before deciding it needed its own page. Sources would be needed.

Developments since 2023

In the (northern hemisphere) spring of 2023, there was a 5-2 vote in favor of dissolving the conference. The schools Le Sueur-Henderson (LSH) and Sibley East, who were longtime members of the Minnesota River Conference, were among those voting for the dissolution. Both schools then looked to where they might go for the 2024-25 school year. After meetings between athletic directors from AA, the schools Maple River, LSH, Sibley East, Lake Crystal-Wellcome-Memorial (LCWM), St. Clair, and Minnesota Valley Lutheran (MVL) decided to form their own new conference. LCWM and St. Clair left the Valley, Maple River the Gopher, MVL the Tomahawk, and LSH and Sibley East the MRC. The schools decided to create their own instead of joining an existing conference because it was composed of all AA schools. MVL played half of their conference schedule against single A teams and did not help their QRF. Other schools were considered – like Waterville, Elysian, Morristown – but it was decided that they would keep the membership at six teams for the first year with the idea that they would add more schools later. It was also decided that ultimately no more than eight members were wanted. The name South Central Conference was adopted; this is not to be confused with the former SCC, a version dissolved in the early 2010s (which had included schools such as St. Peter and Waseca).
