The SAC becomes the first conference-wide partner with Collegiate Sports Connect. Commissioner Britz: “As a conference, it's vitally important that we prioritize diversity, equity and inclusion through recruitment, hiring, development and retention of coaches and administrators. By partnering with Collegiate Sports Connect, on-campus leadership will have access to a platform and database that serves the purpose of developing deliberate, diverse and qualified candidate pools. Additionally, Connect will allow for our institutions to proactively recruit talent and continue to bolster the support for SAC student-athletes.” (link); SAC Asst. Commissioner for Branding & Marketing Whicker sat down with D2.ticker/Connect’s Eargle to discuss the partnership. Whicker: “The way Connect’s going to help us is promoting those positions and again that proactive approach is really going to be beneficial because we can go find the talent or find those qualified candidates and professionals that we want to attract to our campus as opposed to just being reliant on the applicant.” More can be found only on Connect, where you can sign up for free.

MIAA Commissioner Racy expresses some frustration with the FB selection process with a number of top teams nationally housed in Region III: “For the MIAA on selection day to be worried about a second team into the playoffs, I think we can do better than that. I think there’s some things that we’re going to need to look at as a conference and that’s the way we schedule and I think there are things that need to be looked at nationally.” Broadly, Racy takes issue with the emphasis on strength of schedule over in-region record, continuing: “The GAC and the MIAA have close schedules, but we’ve built our membership around that. We value football. We value the sponsorship of football and we want our schools to have opponents in the region to play but the selection committee instead put a lot of weight on strength of schedule and that is a measuring tool that really penalizes our conference.” (link)
