MONTEVALLO APPLIES FOR PBC MEMBERSHIP

Goodbye, Gulf South Conference! Hello, Peach Belt Conference? Well, maybe! The University of Montevallo (Ala.) hopes to make the upcoming 2008-09 academic year their last in the GSC.
If approved, the move to the PBC becomes effective in the fall of 2009.

Analysis: The move to the PBC from the GSC probably should come as no surprise for UM, as it's one of the few schools in the latter conference without a football program. While it joins the likes of Columbus State, Georgia College & State University, Augusta State, and other schools in the PBC, the biggest drawback could be that Montevallo would become the first, and only, PBC member school in the Central Time Zone, as well as the state of Alabama.
