Conference changes

[gordonmann]

Maine Presque Isle is another GSAC member and they used to have a great slogan (maybe still do) -- North of ordinary.

[Gregory Sager]

That slogan is better than the one suggested by many Maine natives, which is, "the road to UMPI is long and bumpy."

[Just Bill]

So if you're adding Finlandia to the complete UMAC schedule, why not just make them affiliate members in basketball?

Finlandia Women's basketball is a member of the Great South Althletic Conference despite being nearly as far north in the United States as one could be. And despite not playing any conference members in the regular season.



It does seem like Finlandia would like to be part of the UMAC but the UMAC only wants to use them while it's convenient.

You need to re-write your post in the past-tense. The GSAC has folded.

The GSAC has not folded. It still exists for women's colleges. Barely exists, but it exists.

I found a golf ball with UMPI Owls logo on golf course in Georgetown Texas a few months back

That post needs to go on the T-shirt and Decal Board (if you did not already put it there).

That is a very lost golf ball... haha.

It was probably sent there by this guy:

No, I believe Just Bill is correct here. No updates to the GSAC site this season, while the former core members are playing in the USA South.

Says Carl but I'd have to see him tee it up to believe it.

I went through a number of the GSAC school sites who still claim to be playing in the GSAC and have the conference listed on their websites. I realize their website hasn't been updated, but considering how often turnover, especially at a small conference, can affect that... I didn't take any stock in it.

That said, I also found a few with this site listed: http://www.d3independents.org/landing/index

Looking into it.

[Dave 'd-mac' McHugh]

I sent an email to headquarters, but researched in the meantime... I went to the NCAA master list online and the conference isn't listed at all under any school. But to make matters confusing, Wesleyan College in Georgia isn't listed on the site, either. Nor is Salem College. Might be the transitional stuff, but still... confusing.

FYI - I checked with Indy... the GSAC informed them this past Spring they would not be in existence this academic year.

Down goes GSAC... down goes GSAC.

So does that mean another Pool C bid opened up for the ladies?
