SEASON NOTES

COLLEGE FOOTBALL TURNS 150The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference begins its 49th season of college football in 2019. College football is one of the most popular sports in the USA. Four college football stadiums, Penn State’s Beaver Stadium, Michigan’s Michigan Stadium, Ohio State’s Ohio Stadium and Tennessee’s Neyland Stadium hold more than 100,000 fans and their games are almost always sell outs. Even high school football games in some areas draw more than 10,000 fans.

The birth of football in the United States goes back to Nov. 6, 1869, when teams from Princeton and Rutgers universities met in New Brunswick, New York, for the first intercollegiate football game. In the early games, each team was allowed 25 players. By 1873, this number had been reduced to 20, in 1876 it was reduced again to 15, and in 1880 to the present day number of 11.

Over the years, many changes have been made to the game. The playing field itself has been reduced in length from 120 yards, exclusive of end zones, to the present 100 yards, and in width from 100 yards, to the current 53-1/3 yards.

The first ball used was round, then became an oval shape 23 inches around the middle, and now is 20 3/4 -21 1/4 inches around the middle. Originally a touchdown was counted as two points and a field goal was five points. In the present day game, a touchdown is worth six points and a field goal three points. Changes in the rules have been made to maintain a balance between the offense and defense and to foster the safety of the players.

By 1906, the game was extremely rough and many injuries and some deaths had occurred. Educators considered dropping the sport despite its popularity on campuses. President Theodore Roosevelt, an ardent advocate of strenuous sports, declared that it must be made safer. As a result, football leaders revamped the game and many of the rougher tactics were outlawed.

One of the major changes to the rules was the legalizing of the forward pass. It was hoped, and this hope was proven correct, that by opening up the game fewer players would be injured in the mass rushing plays that were so popular and effective at the turn of the century. The rules committee also changed the downs system, requiring a team to make 10 yards, not five, in three tries for a first down. In 1912, the rule was changed to four tries, or downs, to make a first down.

After World War II, college football players began to receive athletics scholarships in such increasing numbers that today nearly every major college football player is paid room, board, tuition and other expenses, usually from donations from alumni and game profits. At the same time, the quality of the game has improved. Nearly all major college football teams are members of either the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) or the National Association of Intercollegiate Athletics (NAIA), which implement the rules and oversee competition between teams.

MEAC OVERVIEWThe 2019 MEAC football schedule is comprised of 69 total games, including 36 conference contests, 33 non-conference games and a minimum of one postseason contest (Celebration Bowl).

The 2019 schedule will play out over 13 weeks with the conference schedule concluding on Nov. 23. The 2019 MEAC champion is scheduled to play on national television in the Celebration Bowl on Dec. 21 in Atlanta, Ga.

Five teams on the 2019 MEAC schedule participated in 2018-19 postseason bowl games. Six of the MEAC’s 18 games scheduled against Football Championship Subdivision teams were 2018 FCS Playoff participants.

The MEAC schedule also features nine games versus Football Bowl Subdivision teams with the first occurring on Aug. 29 and the finale’ on Sept. 21.

NEW HEAD COACHES IN THE MEACAfter welcoming five new head coaches to the MEAC last year, there will be three new faces walking the sideline this year as the 2019 season gets underway.

Ron Prince will be the new man at Howard following the departure of Mike London to The College of William & Mary. Prince is the only one of the new coaches with head coaching experience, after serving as head coach at Kansas State from 2006-08. Prince joins the Bison after being at Michigan last season.

Former Michigan standout athlete and Big Ten Offensive Player of the Year Tyrone Wheatley will lead the Morgan

SEASON NOTES

State Bears in his first time as a college head coach. Wheatley comes to the Bears after coaching running backs with the Jacksonville Jaguars.

Trei Oliver became the third football coach in the MEAC to become head coach at his alma mater, joining Rod Milstead (Delaware State) and Buddy Pough (South Carolina State) when he was hired by North Carolina Central on Dec. 13, 2018. This will be Oliver’s first head coaching position and he comes back home after spending the last three seasons as defensive coordinator at Southern University.

MEAC DIGITAL NETWORK ON ESPNAs part of a multi-year agreement reached last year, the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) and ESPN will stream all of the conference’s football contests on ESPN3 and ESPN+, the multi-sport, direct-to-consumer subscription streaming service from The Walt Disney Company Direct-to-Consumer & International segment and ESPN. There will be 34 MEAC football contests available on ESPN3 and ESPN+ this season, in addition to 10 televised contests on either ABC, ESPN, ESPN2

or ESPNU, which gives the conference 44 total linear and digital broadcasts across the ESPN family of networks.

MEAC TO IMPLEMENT INSTANT REPLAYThis season, the MEAC will implement instant replay for all football games, starting with the first conference game of the 2019 season, which will be Saturday, Sept. 21, when Howard visits Delaware State. The following Saturday, Sept. 28, will be the first full weekend of conference play.

Each institution has the option to utilize the instant replay during non-conference games as well.

THE CELEBRATION BOWLFor the fifth consecutive season, the MEAC champion will participate in the Air Force Reserve Celebration Bowl against the champion from the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC). Last year, North Carolina A&T State defeated Alcorn State 24-22.

The 2019 Celebration Bowl will be televised live on ABC to open up the college football bowl season and played at the Mercedes-Benz Stadium in Atlanta, Ga. The all-time bowl series is at 3-1, as North Carolina A&T State leads

the MEAC with three appearances.

FCS PLAYOFFSWith the participation of the MEAC champion in the Celebration Bowl, the conference does not have an automatic bid to the Football Championship Subdivision (FCS) playoffs. However, the league still has an opportunity to earn an at-large bid.

North Carolina A&T State earned an at-large bid in 2016 as it marked the first time since South Carolina State earned a bid in 2013, as both them and Bethune-Cookman participated in the playoffs that season.

The last FCS playoff win for the MEAC occurred in 1999 as Florida A&M defeated Appalachian State (44-29) and Troy State (17-10) en route to a semifinal appearance against Youngstown State (L, 41-3), who lost to Georgia Southern in the Championship game. North Carolina A&T State won its opening round contest against Tennessee State, 27-24 in the same year.
