GMAC getting stronger and stronger. Ashland looking like lost dog in the rain.

Did they hint that lacrosse would be coming to Malone?

Ashland is where they need to be and want to be. Let them play with the state schools in Michigan. Good for them.

Ha, yes. I completely missed that.

Hoping Cedarville adds it soon also.

Re: G-MAC All-Sports and Conference Business Thread

Just saw the conference coaches poll for volleyball over the weekend. They listed them by divisions which is cool I believe. Looking at the points though it looks like they were still voted on all together. In that case the coaches put it this way:

1. Findlay 150
2. Cedarville 143
3. Hillsdale 133
4. Lake Erie 125
5. Trevecca 104
6. Ohio Dominican 88
7. Walsh 81
8. Kentucky Wesleyan 75
9. Davis & Elkins 72
10. Ursuline 70
11. Malone 67
12. Alderson Broaddus 45
13. Ohio Valley 30

Pretty different from what I had in mine, but with the same four teams at the top just in different order. I think that shows how it is going to be a much more interesting race this year! Should be a fun year!

Thanks for the info. I love women's volleyball. Go Battlers!

I'm not saying this is anything at all (its probably not), but when I see comments, I post them. I still think that TMC ends up in the DIII Heartland, but who knows.

Re: G-MAC All-Sports and Conference Business Thread

Cedarville's men's and women's soccer teams (which are usually pretty good) both got absolutely smoked by OVU yesterday. OVU hired a Columbian coach to coach both teams and he has assembled two very nice international-rostered teams. I know our schools have gotten used to beating OVU in most sports - but they have clearly stepped up their game. Watch out.

Interesting. I am curious as to when anything will be decided this fall?

Who knows? I will say it's much easier for an NCAA D3 Program from Kentucky to go D2 than for an NAIA Program to get in if early G-MAC history means anything. I would be all for TMC coming on board. Bell and TMC could both make the jump. Lots of discussion going on.

TMC had to void their 2015 Women's Basketball D3 Championship. They give athletic scholarships in D2.

They may very well get to the G-MAC. I did not know their situation. They do like to win. My gosh the G-MAC is in their backyard in Covington.

Oilers squeak out a tough 5 set volleyball win over the Hillsdale Chargers. Sounds like it would have been a great match to see. Oh, well, can't be everywhere.

Just noticed TMC basketball schedule has exhibition games at Kentucky and Xavier.

Re: G-MAC All-Sports and Conference Business Thread

Calipari said that he wants to help D3 programs. You also pay less to the D3 teams than you do to D2 programs. I have no problem with that.

Re: G-MAC All-Sports and Conference Business Thread

The Xavier game is a support game for a sister institution. Thomas More going D2 would be good for the other D2 programs in the state.
