Originally posted by MIAAWeekly View PostI've seen the "true conference champion" argument come up on more than one occasion and I have news for you:
That's bull****.
Playing all 11 opponents doesn't give you a "clear" champion. Last year, NW beat UCM but, both finished 10-1 and were co-champions. Two years ago FHSU beat NW but, both finished 9-2 and were co-champions. In 2014, Pitt State and NW were both 10-1, co-champions...
I will talk more about this on the podcast when I record tonight. But I think the reason some of the top tier programs in this league don't want non-con is much more self-serving than any athletics department would ever admit on the record.
i think they're lazy w/ respect to scheduling.
there is a solution but it isn't screwing up the only thing they do right.

I guess I'm just not a true fan or something because I can't make myself care one way or another on this issue. Whatever Jerry, Jim & Dr Best want is fine with me.
Besides, it's baseball season. I'm far more concerned about Mules baseball than anything football.
Also, have you watched the Mules play basketball? Now there's something to be concerned about.

But have the big boys really figured it out or just figured out how to chase the money. I think it's the Big10 that has teams that hardly ever play each but they have a conference championship game to solve the issue should it matter.
The MIAA could figure it out if they wanted to. The 5-5 vote says half the conference doesn't want to. What's hard to get about that? I realize you don't agree, but I think you get it.
Yes, I get that they don't want to figure it out. I legitimately don't understand why.

Originally posted by BulldogLB View PostIt's always the fans of the schools that have figured out how to make/almost make the playoffs every year who are against non-con lol. They just need to admit that they are afraid of playing schools from other conferences. I don't see how the MIAA can claim to be the SEC of D2 if they don't play non-con.

Nearly every other sport offered by the MIAA has non-conference and unbalanced schedules, but football is just too big a challenge?
I really don't get it.

No: Central Missouri, Central Oklahoma, Northwest Missouri State, Washburn, Fort Hays State
Abstain: Lincoln, Nebraska-Kearney
Without going into specifics out of respect for privacy, at least one of the abstaining presidents was unable to travel to the NCAA Convention for reasons beyond their control.
