Their closest opponent would be Hillsdale at 3 hours and then Findlay at 4.5 hours and NDC at 5 hours. Right now they can reach every GLIAC school besides Northern Michigan, Michigan Tech, and Wisconsin-Parkside within 4 hours.

Why would the G-MAC right now want to merge with any conference? I don't get this! This conference, especially the commissioner, has taken a conference on life-support to now a conference with a clear vision and a promising future.
The G-MAC was left for dead no more than 5 years ago. Nobody reached out to the G-MAC then. Certainly not the MEC. And when the G-MAC originally tried to expand with two southern NAIA schools, two members of the NCAA expansion committee from some of these same conferences voted NO. Oh well. Maybe the G-MAC would not have expanded with former GLIAC members had the KY/TN NAIA expansion had gone along as planned.
The G-MAC has gone from 2 football schools to 9 football schools in less than 5 years. The other two conferences, quite frankly, are losing members to other conference or picking up members that don't have football.
The G-MAC is a conference comprised of ALL private schools with similar values. The MEC is run by a holdover form the old West Liberty administration.....an administration that spent their entire lives in the public sector. Do you really see any similarities between the G-MAC and MEC? I am not interested in schools like Fairmont State and West Liberty wanting to call the shots because many of us know with experience how things will turn out with any such merger.
A merger AIN'T happening!
