Comments
Malone, Notre Dame, and Walsh are new members of this conference in 2012, while Indianapolis has left to join the Great Lakes Valley Conference.
Grand Valley State, Ferris State, Saginaw Valley State, Northern Michigan, and Ohio Dominican have new helmet designs for the 2012 football season (shown above).
I have never received much information about historical helmets for these teams - any useful information would be appreciated.
