Beginning in 2014, West Salem will compete in the Mississippi Valley Conference for football only.

With the announcement and passing of football-only conference realignments by the WIAA, the Coulee Conference will be temporarily split up for the 2019 football season.[2] In the 2020 football season, the Coulee Conference will return, but Luther will join the Scenic Bluffs Conference. The Altoona Railroaders of the Cloverbelt Conference and Aquinas Blugolds (La Crosse) of the Mississippi Valley Conference will join the Coulee for football only.[3]
