That was the consensus reached by seven (of nine) MEAC head coaches who met during last week's conference basketball tournament in Raleigh, N.C., Hampton coach Joe Taylor said. Taylor said the coaches plan to forward their recommendations to MEAC commissioner Densis Thomas.
Thomas is exploring a different plan. He said recently that if the MEAC expands from nine to 10-ormore football schools - which could happen as early as May - the conference will be split into divisions, with the winner of each playing for the title. The MEAC champ would then forgo the I-AA playoffs to face the Southwestern Athletic Conference champ in the Heritage Bowl. Thomas said he believes the game could net each conference at least $500,000.
