BNC expanding again?

An official release from the Big Northern Conference states the following:

"At the Big Northern Conference Principals' Meeting held on Jan. 19, members voted to pursue the possibility of expanding the conference to 16 schools. Schools that are interested should send a letter of interest to Conference President Mr. Tom DuBois at Richmond-Burton High School. All inquiries will be kept confidential."

The BNC consists of 14 teams right now: Byron, Burlington Central, Genoa-Kingston, Harvard, Marengo, Mendota, North Boone, Oregon, Richmond-Burton, Rock Falls, Rockford Christian, Rockford Lutheran, Stillman Valley and Winnebago. Mendota and Rock Falls were just added last year, which moved G-K to the East Division from the West.
