G-MAC All-Sports and Conference Business Thread

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!

Did they hint that lacrosse would be coming to Malone?

Ha, yes. I completely missed that.

Hoping Cedarville adds it soon also.

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

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

Agree with you Buckeye. I always enjoyed the thorough and substantive previews the conference put out. These are substandard - in scope, content, and even writing style. Disappointing.

Unfortunately, the same lack of effort from the conference office for men's soccer as well!

I wonder if it will cost to watch. Several schools charged last year.

The new G-MAC Digital Network looks good. All Football, Volleyball, and Men's and Women's Basketball games are mandated to be streamed.

Buckeye, I just went back to see what they did last year. They released a very detailed update for each team last year (releasing one per day). They started with the lowest ranked team and made their way to #1.

It will be interesting to see if yesterday's right up (and the rankings piece earlier) is all we get this year.

I am guessing that it is. Not enough time to release one per day now since the season starts next week for all fall sports.

Must admit that I am disappointed in the conference office! The football preview came out earlier this week and was very well done with great analysis of each team and video interviews as well continuing something the conference started doing last year in all sports.

However, the volleyball preview came out today and was quite generic relatively speaking. A couple of sentences on each team (which are well written), but no interviews or anything else to come close to the football article.

The G-MAC has always been good at treating all of their sports pretty equally the past several years. However, I guess that was before it became a legit football conference. Now, it is a acting like many other conference offices. I am assuming the other fall sports are going to get the generic treatment as well! Thought the G-MAC would be a little different! Still love the conference, but hoping that is not a sign of things to come! It is not an NCAA DI Football power conference, but a great DII conference to all of its student-athletes that all work just as hard. Just surprised to see that!

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

Thanks BlueBlood. There was a large article that KWC produced. Personally, I would have liked to have seen more of the actual Track and Field. However, the people made that possible. It's going to reduce injuries and make for a good recruiting tool. I'm sure the student body will have some access to it. I'm thrilled with what the administration has started doing.

It will be fun to watch the first Collegiate Track and Field Meet in Owensboro. People don't realize how far KWC has come since the SACSCOC warning. We could have been St. Joe. I really am thankful that we are doing well as a College. "There but for the Grace of God go I."
