RMAC Commissioner Chris Graham spoke at today’s RMAC Football Media Day about the conference’s deal with Hudl, playoff expansion, technology updates, and scheduling. The conference has inked a three-year extension with Hudl, which will keep RMAC broadcasts on the RMAC Network free “for the foreseeable future,” with conference championships and tournaments to remain behind a paywall. On DII playoffs, Graham calls for expansion, stating: “We must expand football in order to keep it viable, healthy and strong in Division II. We understand that it has to be a part of the regular budget process which will be coming up in a few years, but we need to make sure that our colleagues and leaders in the Division II committees ensure that this is a major priority during the next budget cycle in order to provide additional access, deserving access to our Division II football programs.” Asked about future membership changes, Graham says he does not foresee any football changes and that any changes in membership will probably have a focus on Men’s and Women’s Basketball and Volleyball, which have 15 members. The conference will limit the number of sideline tablets this season to five. Also of note, beginning in 2026, Football will have a conference-wide week 6 bye, which will require three days off from countable athletically related activities. More. (link)
