MangoZip Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 This was a fun changing timeline video but the site wouldn’t let me post it because the file was too big. So here’s a screenshot of the final count in 2024 Quote
ZippyRulz Posted February 13 Report Posted February 13 wow, we have 13 wins for every one by ucf 😄 Quote
zipsfan33 Posted February 14 Report Posted February 14 For a little clarity, Buffalo joined in 1998 and we joined in 1992. How long until they overtake us in wins?  1 Quote
UAZipster0305 Posted February 15 Report Posted February 15 (edited) I know my comment doesn't necessarily belong on the football page, but...  I wonder where we are on this list for men's basketball? Despite not joining until 1992, I imagine we are near the top just below Ohio, Kent, and Miami.  Believe it or not, we are among the Top 50 all-time in Division 1 wins (#48, tied with Creighton and ahead of Wisconsin-Madison):  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_teams_with_the_most_victories_in_NCAA_Division_I_men's_college_basketball  Though I doubt most of those wins were against D-1 competition.

Zipped Up Posted February 16 Report Posted February 16 The first year members were UC, Butler, Western Reserve  and Ohio. In 1948 the above four members were joined by Western Michigan and Miami. Kent joins  in 1951 and BG and Toledo in 1952 which marks the year that the six oldest members have been in the league. If we are counting total wins, that is the first year that would be most logical. Here are the win totals for those six between 1952 - 1961. Miami   38 Ohio    36 BG      32 Kent    31   Kent was a decent program until about 1961. WMU    16 UT      15 So taking into account those years with all the same six, total wins are:  Toledo   443 Miami    431 BG       411 WMU     380 Ohio      360 Kent      257  Kent jumps ahead of Northern Illinois by 12 wins but NIU has been in the league 35 less years overall.  If one counts inclusive of the 1947-51 years the Miami leads the conference in all time wins with 445 to Toledo 443. Miami has the most MAC championships 17, BG and Toledo tied at 12, CMU 7, NIU 6, OU 5, Ball St 4, Western 2, EMU, Kent, Buffalo and Akron 1 each.   Quote
