The MEAC has three solid openings. This conference is always one of the highest ranking D1 conferences in the Tarkanian World. This year we finished 4th with three teams in the top 25. Last year we were #2 among all conferences. It is a really fun conference with some legendary coaches. The teams are Morris Brown, which finished last season ranked #13, Howard which is a solid team, and Coppin State, which CubCub developed the last couple of years. I am kind of worried about him because he was pretty active but seems to have kind of disappeared. But as far as the team goes, you would be inheriting a team that was recruited for Potential, and that potential is about to manifest itself. Conference Strength is currently rated "Good" but we are really close to "Very Good".

Please consider joining us! It's an active conference board that gets along really well.

it is a great conference and would be great to fill back up! we usually have 12 coaches, sometimes 11. i think its a particularly good opportunity for 2 types of folks:

1) if you are looking for a challenge - trying to build a high end program on D baseline in a pretty competitive area should fit the bill. the jobs change has seemingly made everywhere competitive, but having a full low major conf which would otherwise be all sims definitely adds to it. there's a tough enough cast of coaches to provide a challenge to anyone. but on the flip side, you avoid the awful conf schedule and conf prestige that makes most low major gigs hard to stay at for very long.

2) if you are looking to learn the ropes or up your game - its definitely trial by fire, but having a group of active, helpful coaches to learn from makes it a pretty great learning opportunity. when i joined my first tough conference it helped my game immensely, its a great way to learn, but you do have to have a bit of thick skin.

Yes. The coaches here are very helpful for anyone that is really wanting to learn the game and get to the next level.
