Re: G-MAC / GLIAC Updates

I would be willing to wager that this has NOT happened.

Huh, well that surprises me, but I'm glad that they don't want them.

IRRC: Hillsdale is in the GMAC because the large public schools did not want to listen to Hillsdales concerns.

It's not quite that simple...things as I understood them were more complex than that. With that said, what you wrote isn't inherently untrue...again, just not the entirety of the story.

What would those concerns be?

Just a guess, but "public v. private" might have been the top concern on that list for Hillsdale.

Not sure what the large public schools can do about that...They can't make themselves private and shrink their enrollments.

Everyone knows what the "concerns" were. Just not allowed to talk about them.

Given the Bellarmine news, Mr. Daeger should be scheduling a lunch date with his alma mater.

Then, maybe he and the UIndy AD should take a quick road trip to Marian, IWU and Taylor.

D2 Conference Commissioner Association is meeting today through Thursday in San Diego. He probably won't contact anyone this week.

I do not agree or disagree with you. I simplified the stance of the leaving school.

Re: G-MAC / GLIAC Updates

I was looking at the 2019 GMAC Football schedules currently posted on each school's website. Every school will play 7 conference games and the OOC games are scattered throughout the season. Thought I would list the total number of games each school has scheduled and what league their OOC games are coming from.

Alderson Broaddus 10 games scheduled...1-MEC, 2-CIAA
Findlay 11 games scheduled...1-MEC, 3-GLIAC
Hillsdale 11 games scheduled...2-GLIAC, 1-MEC, 1-GLVC
Kentucky Wesleyan 11 games scheduled...1-MEC, 2-GLVC, 1-NAIA
Lake Erie 10 games scheduled...1-GLVC, 1-PSAC, 1-GLIAC
Ohio Dominican 9 games scheduled...1-PSAC, 1-GSC
Tiffin 10 games scheduled...2-GLIAC, 1 NE-10
Walsh 10 games scheduled...1-GLIAC, 1-MEC, 1-FCS

In 2020, I "assume", the four OOC games will all be at the beginning of the season. That is if all 8 schools continue playing football for the 2020 season. The PSAC only has week 1 open for OOC games and beginning in 2020 the MEC will be playing with themselves so no OOC games.

Food for thought, or not. That's all I got.

Leveling the playing field typically means "reduce your efforts to my school's level."

No conference, division, etc is ever perfectly "level."

Yup. There can be variation in the commitment across the sport spectrum, but overall commitment needs to be pretty uniform or you can run into problems between conference members that make a relatively large investment in athletics and those that are just along for the ride.
