Tri-County Conference (Northern Indiana)
The Tri-County Conference was a league that ran from 1950 to 1965, and is considered a direct forerunner to the Mid-Indiana Conference. The league began in 1950 as the Howard-Miami Conference, as the three schools left from the post-consolidation Howard County Conference joined with three schools from Miami County. The conference changed its name to the TCC when Swayzee and Sweetser, from Grant County joined. When school consolidation forced the conference to look outside its footprint to find similar-sized schools, in 1965 it became the current MIC.
This should not be confused with conferences of the same name based in the southern and western portions of the state.

gollark: But I don't want to deal with a hard cutoff between documents and applications and I don't think most people do either.
gollark: It's nice that my osmarksthings™ can freely mix "document" and "application".
