It's been a while since I've updated anything and I apologize. It took a while to switch formats but I think it's better this way. Still having trouble converting it to a sort-able chart.
I hope this works:

The "MAC News Media Association" that gets voting rights on this stuff is a joke. I believe that Elton Alexander is in charge of it, or was a few years ago. They don't let the people who do all of the actual reporting in the association. It's just a bunch of disinterested beat reporters.
The whole reason the MAC went to a neutral site championship is because they tried holding it on campus sites and it sucked. We're not going back to that.
Akron fans should be going to a bar called the Akronite, not the Clevelander. LeBron's gonna flip when he hears about this latest attempt for Cleveland to assimilate his home town.
From Zipsupdate.com (Akron's Statsheet.com page):
The Zips have won 100% of the time this season (9-0) after recording 79 or more total points.
Akron has won 81% of the time this season (9-2) after committing 13 or fewer turnovers.
Akron has won 100% of the time this season (4-0) when opponents record 6 or fewer free throws made.
This season Akron has won 84% of the time (11-2) when Alex Abreu has 5 assists or more, 100% of the time (9-0) when Brian Walsh has 5 rebounds or more, and 81% of the time (9-2) when Nikola Cvetinovic has 12 points or more.
Another consequence of this move is that it cripples the A-10 by removing one of their best basketball teams and strongest overall athletic programs.
The MAC can use this to force UMass to join the MAC in all sports. We also need a 14th member to re-balance things. Army should be the MAC's top target, but they won't join. James Madison is the second best option.
Temple has to pay $2.5 million to the MAC with a 2-year notice. If they don't give us two years to solve scheduling problems, they should be charged much more.
If they win their next two games (#53 Dartmouth, #38 Brown), they will be ranked. It's a tall order, but it's the only way they'll catch the ITA's attention.
