Fighting Hawk,

I think that the SCAC expansion is a "mission/vison" thing.

Currently the only SCAC school that does not have a Phi Beta Kappa chapter is Oglethorpe.  New member Austin College added their Phi Beta Kappa Chapter about 2000.  A Phi Beta Kappa chapter has not been good enough for University of Dallas to gain admission to the SCAC since they left the ASC in 2001.

One inferred criterion is the admission standards that are available in the professional education literature, and I would expect it to be more exclusive than US News and World Report lists, too.

One other measure that might infer a certain level of prestige is the endowment.

Colorado College is reported to be the next addition to the SCAC.  Their endowment is greater than $423 Million.

Interesting to see what will happen in the southeast...

Streets and Maps 2004 is the authority for "In-region".

I don't have access to a copy.

[Pat Coleman]

Kean is regional. That's why we marked it that way on last year's schedule!

[PA_wesleyfan]

yep i just googled it.. 61 miles from here. and 100 to wesley

[acfcposter]

Does anyone have any early predictions on how the ACFC teams will fare next year? I have to assume that Salisbury will be hit very hard with graduation. Any opinions?

[PA_wesleyfan]

Wesley has to be a favorite with what they have coming back. But with their Schedule they may have to run the table to get back to the playoffs. Homecoming
looks like it will be a fun day with Bport the opponent

[PA_wesleyfan]

With the MAC teams scrambling to fill their schedules for 2007 maybe now we will see Widener and Del-Val coming to Del. and Maryland in the near future. They are both within the milage limit for region games too. A Wesley /Del-Val match up in Doylestown would be a five minute trip for me.  There are quite a few Wesley alum. in this area too.

Who is actually left in the conference now?

I see either Wesley or Salisbury at the top as of current talent/talent lost

1-Wesley
21-Salisbury
3-Brockport (if still in conference)
4 Newport
5 Buffalo (if still in conference)

[PA_wesleyfan]

  Buffalo left the conference so it's still WC, SSU, Frostburg St., BPort and
NNA

well i have a few picks

1- wesley
2/3/4- salisbury
3/2/4- brockport
4/3/2-frostburg
5-newport news

might be a crazy year but my boys have 7 home game so watch that plus i dont think salisbury will be able to even play with then this year even though they are at home dang near everyone is coming back and salisbury is rebuilding but they always find some players but i believe it will be a fight for the second third and fourth spot should be an intresting year

[PA_wesleyfan]

  WOW

ESPN has it's Swammy and now we have our Swanny!! I hope you perdict as good as he does WCsis. I think that the Wolverines will need at least a conference championship  and 9 wins to get into the playoffs in 2006. I am not so sure that if they don't go undefeated that they will get in. Unfortunately strength of schedule is going to hurt and be a huge factor in the decision.
   The being said I think the Wolverines are going to burn up the turf again as long as they can keep thier sites on the big picture. And of course who better to bring out that point than Coach Drass. I think they may also come back hungry after coming close to that dream of a championship game.

Salisbury starts the season with a tough 4 game run.  First on the road to Washington & Jefferson.  Then they come home to face Brockport and CNU.  Finally, they hit the road to face Montclair St., ending what could be a very rough start for the Gulls.  Add in Wesley and Widener later in the year...ouch.  Though, I feel Coach Wood will have them ready to go when the season starts.  Hopefully they will play more disciplined football this year.

Builders open at NC Wesleyan and Frostburg (a 6 pm start at bobcat stadium)
before hosting the always powerful BYE team (ok..smartalic alert)
then Emory & Henry and Salisbury to close out September

October they will travel to Morrisville, NY and Dover (and we're not homecoming for Wesley...woohoo) before hosting NY Maritime and Southern Va.

November the Builders go to Brockport (brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr) then host Chowan

 NNASid
   I noticed that most of  the ACFC teams are playing Morrisville!!!! Interesting.... I grew up about 10 miles from there. Was better know for it's basketball in the past. Teachers college as I remember it.
