It’s certainly been no secret that the OVC has given some thought to adding UNA as a member. But the behind the scenes discussions have finally seemed to come out into the light.

The OVC has officially requested information from North Alabama in regards to UNA upgrading from Division II and joining the Division I FCS Ohio Valley Conference.

The request is in no way a formal application to join, simply the routine exploratory steps taken by conferences considering expansion candidates.

Should UNA be invited an accept a future OVC invitation, they would become the 12th member of the OVC.
