Thinking about recent events in the relations of these neighbors, I decided to Google Map the distance between Bridgeport WV and Lock Haven PA and I swear this is true. Using several addresses and names the results stayed the same NO ROUTE FOUND !!! Although CALU had no part in the availability of DANNY SANCOMB, given the upcoming departure of SHEPHERD, it may be that some in the MEC home office (why Bridgeport?) are feeling more than a little stressed toward their big brother to the north. I don't know what they can do about their apparent vulnerability but the longer the bullying goes on the more likely it seems that the MEC will not survive. It must get pretty awkward at regional events.

Re: PSAC vs MEC....
I do not foresee the MEC being in any type of trouble. There are several schools in the area that make sense. I have seen online that Frostburg (D3) is looking at bumping up to D2 and joining. Would also expect them try to dip into the GMAC and pluck former WVIAC members, as the MEC is much more stable than the GMAC. Plus, WV schools like Alderson Broaddus, Davis & Elkins, and Ohio Valley would probably fit better geographically in the MEC than the GMAC. I think that the MEC is a very healthy league and will not have any issues finding new members.

Among the MEC, GMAC and GLIAC, I'd argue the GLIAC is probably the least stable (even with the addition of Davenport and Purdue-Northwest from the NAIA ranks and with Wisconsin-Parkside joining from the GLVC), followed by the MEC, then the GMAC with the addition of new members (though, long-term, it remains to be seen if that would be enough for Trevacca Nazerene or Kentucky Wesleyan to remain in a predominantly Ohio-based league; Nashville to suburban Cleveland or Philippi isn't exactly a short trip for TNU).Cal U (Pa.)
