Pretty sure no one is hanging on to an All-Ohio concept. The article was from 2009 - in the era when the PSAC was PA-only and the WVIAC had a state in...

Totally agree. I will fully defend the OH schools that had long planned to create their own D2 conference. HC was different - but I can argue either...

Brandon, the article is in the post right above it. The OH NAIA schools were planning to create an OH D2 conference....

UIndy, I brought the conversation back here, as I don't think the GLIACers probably care what happened to NDC and the G-MAC circa 2011. Their obvious...

Per the NDC AD: "We've had discussions about this for a couple of years,"...

As far back as 2008 (maybe even further back) it was pretty well known that Walsh, Malone, Notre Dame, Cedarville, Mount Vernon Nazarene and Ursuline...

Agree. I've mentioned before that the GLIAC schools that left to join the G-MAC represent all levels of competitiveness. Below are the GLIAC All-Sports...

I agree with this. As to an NAIA school - I would actually say KY or IN (if UIndy comes). I think the conference should fill in the holes inside the...

As I remember it, GLVC bylaws actually required UIndy to play in the GLVC when the conference started sponsoring football. My only point is that UIndy...

I thought UIndy left because the GLVC started sponsoring football?...

I’m not buying the “ducking GV and Ferris” theory for the OH schools. There was discussion of an OH-centric conference prior to ODU, Walsh and...

KWC and TNU do have tremendous travel obligations in the G-MAC and the burden is obvious. Both are founding conference members. And for both, I think...

[BlueBlood]

Yes, I was assuming that when I made my comment too. A Northwood (or even Davenport) move makes more sense if the G-MAC footprint tightens up....

[BlueBlood]

Geographically speaking, this would seem like a weird move for both Northwood and the G-MAC.

I saw where Asbury University is moving from NAIA to NCAA D3. There was a time years ago when I thought they might have been a nice non-football target...

G-MAC and Conference Carolinas jointly add bowling as a sponsored sport. (both men's and women's)
Set up seems similar to G-MAC/MEC swimming....

[BlueBlood]

Ha, yes I remember us discussing this in the past. Good for Malone, and yes much needed for G-MAC....
