History
In 1996 the Northwestern Illinois Conference (NWIC) and Upstate Illini Conference (UIC) merged under the Upstate Illini banner. Initially three divisions were formed for all team sports except football: West - Dakota, East Dubuque, Galena, Lena-Winslow, Orangeville, River Ridge, Stockton, and Warren East - Ashton-Franklin Center, Durand, Kirkland-Hiawatha, North Boone, Pecatonica, Rockford Lutheran and South Beloit, and South - Forreston, Freeport Aquin, Fulton Unity Christian, Eastland, Pearl City, Milledgeville, Mt. Carroll and Polo. In 1999 Savanna was added to the South Division and Rockford Christian Life to the East Division for a total of 24 teams. In 2000, after six schools (Ashton-Franklin Center, Durand, Kirkland-Hiawatha, North Boone, Pecatonica and South Beloit) left to form the Four Rivers Conference, the two remaining schools from the East, Rockford Christian Life and Rockford Lutheran, also left the conference looking for competition within closer proximity.
Based on all of these changes, the remaining schools realigned under the new moniker '"Northwest Upstate Illini"' starting with the 2001 school year. The 18 remaining schools maintained divisional balance in all sports for 4 years, however, during the 2004-05 school year, the school districts of Savanna, Mt. Carroll and Thomson consolidated into the West Carroll School District, becoming the largest high school in the conference. This consolidation reduced the teams in the Northwest Division of football to 6 and also created a scheduling issue due to an odd number of teams within the conference. To correct this, prior to the 2005-06 school year, four schools, Ashton-Franklin Center, Durand, Pecatonica, and South Beloit, joined the conference. These four schools were previously members of the Four Rivers Conference and raised the number of schools from 17 to its highest total of 21. Fulton Unity left the conference to join the Northern Illinois Christian Conference after the 2007 school year, reducing the conference to its current total of 20. Outside of the Chicago Public High School League, the Northwest Upstate Illini Conference is the largest conference in the state of Illinois.
South Beloit left the NUIC after the 2015-16 season. The Sobos joined the Northeastern Athletic Conference to compete against schools from Chicago, Rockford, Aurora, Arlington Heights, Elgin, Hebron, Crystal Lake, Ottawa, Mooseheart and Kirkland.[1] To replace the exiting team, the NUIC added Amboy High School, formerly a member of the Three Rivers Conference. The Clippers began competition in the NUIC during the 2016-17 school year.[2]

Divisions and alignments
Basketball divisions
In 2001, as the conference realigned under its new label, the divisions were broken into 2; nine team divisions.
Those groups were:
- North - Dakota, East Dubuque, Galena, Lena-Winslow, Orangeville, River Ridge, Scales Mound, Stockton, and Warren
- South - Aquin, Eastland, Forreston, Fulton Unity, Milledgeville, Pearl City, Polo, Savanna, Mt. Carroll
Starting in 2005, after the addition of the teams from the Four Rivers Conference and the unification of Savanna, Mt. Carroll and Thomson into West Carroll, the league broke into three divisions for basketball. Each division had 7 teams, however, for girls basketball, River Ridge and Scales Mound formed a coop that would keep the West with only 6 teams.
Those groups were:
- North - Aquin, Dakota, Durand, Orangeville, Pearl City, Pecatonica and South Beloit.
- South - Ashton-Franklin Center, Eastland, Forreston, Fulton Unity, Milledgeville, Polo, and West Carroll.
- West - East Dubuque, Galena, Lena-Winslow, River Ridge, Scales Mound, Stockton, and Warren.
This three division system lasted only for two years when Fulton Unity Christian joined the North Illinois Christian Conference for basketball prior to the start of in 2007-2008 school year. The league realigned back into two divisions with each having 10 teams. These divisions remained constant with the only change occurring in 2016 when Amboy was added to the East to replace South Beloit after their departure.
These groups were:
- East - Amboy, Aquin, Ashton-Franklin Center, Dakota, Durand, Forreston, Milledgeville, Orangeville, Pecatonica, and Polo.
- West - East Dubuque, Eastland, Galena, Lena-Winslow, Pearl City, River Ridge, Scales Mound, Stockton, Warren and West Carroll.
Prior to the 2019-2020 school year, the conference realigned back to three divisions. The divisions would be labeled North, South and West and would be unbalanced with two divisions having 7 teams and one having 6.
These divisions are:
- North - Aquin, Dakota, Durand, Lena-Winslow, Orangeville, Pearl City, and Pecatonica
- South - Amboy, Ashton-Franklin Center, Eastland, Forreston, Milledgeville, and Polo
- West - East Dubuque, Galena, River Ridge, Scales Mound, Stockton, and Warren, and West Carroll
Football alignment
Initially in 2001, the Northwest Upstate Illini was divided into two football divisions, each having 7 total teams. These divisions were:
- Northwest - Dakota, Eastland-Pearl City (coop), Forreston, Galena, Lena-Winslow, Mt. Carroll and Savanna
- Upstate - Aquin, East Dubuque, Milledgeville, Orangeville, Polo, Warren-River Ridge (coop), and Stockton
In 2005, Mt. Carroll and Savanna consolidated with Thomson to become West Carroll. During the same year, four teams from the Four Rivers Conference (Ashton-Franklin Center, Durand, Pecatonica, South Beloit) were accepted to join the conference. Durand, Pecatonica and South Beloit joined the Northwest Division and Ashton-Franklin Center entered the Upstate. In 2016, upon the departure of South Beloit, Amboy took their position in the Northwest division.
The final alignment of these divisions were:
- Northwest - Amboy-LaMoille-Ohio (coop), Dakota, Durand-Pecatonica (coop), East Dubuque, Eastland-Pearl City (coop), Forreston, Galena, Lena-Winslow, West Carroll
- Upstate - Aquin, Ashton-Franklin Center, Milledgeville, Orangeville, Polo, River Ridge, Stockton, and Warren
Starting in 2019, Polo and River Ridge ceased playing traditional 11-man football and began playing 8-man.[10] This change, along with Warren forming a coop with Black Hawk High School in South Wayne, Wisconsin, has created a conference realignment specifically for football. The conference split geographically into North and South divisions with seven schools on each side. Crossover games between schools in different divisions are scheduled based on enrollment.
- North Division - Dakota, Durand-Pecatonica (coop), East Dubuque, Galena, Lena-Winslow, Orangeville, Stockton
- South Division - AFC, Amboy-LaMoille-Ohio (coop), Aquin, Eastland-Pearl City (coop), Forreston, Milledgeville, and West Carroll
In 2021, five more teams from the conference will be moving to 8-man football.[11] These teams include Ashton-Franklin Center, and Milledgeville as well as the 1984 state champion Amboy, the 1989 state championship team Orangeville and Freeport Aquin who claimed the state championship in 1981, 1986 and 2005. This change will reduce the number of 11-man teams to 9 teams and eliminate the need for divisional play. The 2022 season will include:
- Dakota, Durand-Pecatonica (coop), East Dubuque, Eastland-Pearl City (coop), Forreston, Galena, Lena-Winslow, Stockton and West Carroll
Volleyball alignment
In 2001, the conference utilized the same concept of North and South divisions for girls volleyball.
Those groups were:
- North - Dakota, East Dubuque, Eastland, Galena, Lena-Winslow, Orangeville, River Ridge, Scales Mound, Stockton, and Warren
- South - Aquin, Forreston, Fulton Unity, Milledgeville, Mt. Carroll, Pearl City, Polo and Savanna
Similar to basketball, when the league expanded in 2005, some teams shifted and the arrangements moved to the following 3 division system:
- North - Aquin, Dakota, Durand, Orangeville, Pearl City, Pecatonica and South Beloit.
- South - Ashton-Franklin Center, Eastland, Forreston, Fulton Unity, Milledgeville, Polo, and West Carroll.
- West - East Dubuque, Galena, Lena-Winslow, River Ridge, Scales Mound, Stockton, and Warren.
In 2014, the conference eliminated divisions and created a single volleyball conference with all 20 teams and South Beloit was replaced with Amboy after they left the conference in 2016.
Prior to the 2019-2020 school year, the conference realigned back to three divisions. The divisions would once again be labeled North, South and West and would be unbalanced with two divisions having 7 teams and one having 6, however, this alignment will not begin until the 2020-2021 season.
These divisions are:
- North - Aquin, Dakota, Durand, Lena-Winslow, Orangeville, Pearl City, and Pecatonica
- South - Amboy, Ashton-Franklin Center, Eastland, Forreston, Milledgeville, and Polo
- West - East Dubuque, Galena, River Ridge, Scales Mound, Stockton, and Warren, and West Carroll
