The future of the Southwest Ohio Conference is in flux.
On July 24, Talawanda announced it would join the Southwestern Buckeye League. Football will make the move in 2027, and every other sport will do so in 2026. With the SWOC only having four football teams, more movement is expected. Still, there are at least two more seasons of SWOC football before the conference potentially goes by way of the PAC-12.
