FB: Middle Atlantic Conference

[BTEXPRESS]

Eight is just the right number. It let's you play everyone in the conference and then schedule 3 non conference games. There are a lot of conferences out there with 7 teams who would love to have 8. What do you want ten teams? then you wouldn't have any non conference games.

It just seems as though the MAC is losing football teams and not adding them.  If they lose anymore the league is going to disappear.

I do believe that things have now stabilized in the Division III landscape with schools moving and changing conferences. If you think about it, it has been almost 10 or 15 years since the last big shake up occurred IE the formation of the Centential Conference from other MAC teams.

[PBR...]

it will be interesting to see if they have indeed stabilized...or if a trend toward bigger conferences continues and we continue to see mergers/additions much like what has happened in the divI-A landscape. i.e. would the mac/njac combine and create a east/west or north/south division as well as say (off the top off my head since its easy) the liberty league/ empire 8 combined....but the thing there is would be playoff implications and how would the ncaa handle this....

Upbrmeasap, You might be right, I have just one question for you. Where are those girls from?? You probably have said where, but I wasn't paying attention. I just love it every time you come on board!! HA HA

[PBR...]

BT they are known as the "tiki girls" and go to n.c. state....

The Wesley/Widener game is missing!!!!

[Pat Coleman]

According to this, Widener is playing one non-conference game. I'm guessing it's not complete.

me thinks the guru is correct, as dvc would have the last 2 weekends of sept. off. pbr doesnt see that happening giving your team in essence 3 weeks between games? either dvc will move the games around to schedule every other weekend or more likely they are trying to pick up another game. for example last year their ooc schedule had iona, wesley, salisbury whereas right now it only includes iona, wesley w/ a bye week where salisbury fit in last year. my guess is dvc is trying to find another ooc game to fit in there...rpi or hobart anyone?  8)

The schedule with Wilkes at Montclair is correct. As far as Rowan, it makes no sense. The NJAC members can only have (1) out of conference game and Rowan's is Bridgewater, Ma. Wilkes @ Rowan and Rowan @ Widner makes no sense.

[gordonmann]

My understanding is that Del Val has the same schedule for 2008 as 2007, just reversing away games with home for the out of conference tilts.  And I've been told that Wilkes plays non-conference games with an OAC school, Montclair State and Christopher Newport.  Rowan isn't on the slate. 

Remember that the NJAC picks up more members this year, leaving space for only one non-conference game.

And isnt Lycoming still playing at Ithaca this year?

[Jonny Utah]

I cant believe this conference only has 8 football teams left.  Any idea if they are going to get any new teams in the next few years?

I kind of think 8 teams is the perfect amount for a football conference (d3).  Gives you 3 chances to play non-league games which I think can help playoff chances if done the right way.
