The NCAA Division 1 introduced a new conference for basketball only today.. the Greater Wichita Athletic League. The commissioner of the league is Mike Schaplowsky. With this being the only sport that the GWAL plays, commissioner Schaplowsky is doing something unprecedented: He alone is making all the coaching decisions for the league. "I want this league to be as good as the Pac Ten, Big East, Big Ten, and all the other big leagues, so I alone will hire and fire the coaches."

The GWAL has 9 schools, and here they are:

Bishop Carroll
Wichita East
Wichita Heights
Kapaun Mt. Carmel
Wichita North
Wichita Northwest
Wichita South
Wichita Southeast
Wichita West

As of now, the NCAA has not decided which prestige the school will be, but based on their recent domination of NAIA basketball, in which the GWAL has won the last 4 titles in a row, it is presumed that the GWAL will be a prestige 4 or 5 conference, but could be a prestige 3.
