The GLIAC was founded in 1972. During the two years previous to the GLIAC’s founding, several attempts were made to create a new NCAA College Division conference. In 1971, the Great Lakes Athletic Conference was formed, but plans for the new conference were put on hold and several of the participating schools subsequently withdrew their support. However, the idea for a new conference did not die, and since 1972-73 the GLIAC has been a leader in the advancement and promotion of intercollegiate athletics for men and women.

Great Lakes Valley Conference (15)
The formation of the GLVC can be traced as far back as 1972 when the athletic directors of three member schools - Kentucky Wesleyan, Bellarmine and Indiana State University at Evansville (now the University of Southern Indiana) - began preliminary discussions about forming a basketball conference. Four years later, the University of Indianapolis and Saint Joseph's College expressed interest. On July 7, 1978, those schools - along with Ashland University - united to become the GLVC.

North Central Intercollegiate Conference (10)
In the fall of 1921 in Chicago, a meeting was held to lay the groundwork for a new league in the Midwest similar to the Western Conference (Big Ten). Present at the meeting were South Dakota State College, the University of North Dakota, North Dakota Agricultural College, the College of St. Thomas, Creighton University and Michigan A and M. In February 1922 another meeting was held, and after an attempt to lure some of the teams into another league, the NCC, commonly known as the "Big Nine" formally became a conference. The members of the new conference were South Dakota State College, College of St. Thomas, Des Moines University, Creighton University, North Dakota Agricultural College, University of North Dakota and Morningside College. By the spring of 1922 the University of South Dakota and Nebraska Wesleyan came on board as charter members of the nine team conference.

Northeast-10 Conference (16)
The “Northeast-10” name came about when Saint Michael’s and Quinnipiac joined the league in 1987 and the conference remained stable until 1995 when Springfield left for Division III. The league stayed at 10 members as Le Moyne joined the league in 1996 from the New England Collegiate Conference (NECC) and briefly expanded to 11 when Pace joined in 1998 from the New York Collegiate Athletic Conference (NYCAC). Quinnipiac elevated to the Division I Northeast Conference (NEC) to again return the foundation of 10 until the last major expansion took place prior to 2001 when five new schools joined the fold. Franklin Pierce, Southern New Hampshire University (formerly New Hampshire College), the University of Massachusetts Lowell and Southern Connecticut State University were joined by the College of Saint Rose and gives the NE-10 the 15 members it has today.

In 1910, the league changed its name to the Rocky Mountain Faculty Athletic Conference (RMFAC). The University of Denver and University of Utah joined the conference but Colorado College had a fallout with Colorado School of Mines and dropped from the conference. In 1914, Colorado College rejoined and with the addition of Utah State University, the membership was at seven. Montana State University joined in 1917 and Brigham Young University joined in 1918 as the conference grew to nine members. Membership reached 12 when the University of Wyoming joined in 1921, and Western State College and the University of Northern Colorado joined in 1924.
