In previous D2SDays, we’ve reviewed some conferences that, despite relatively low national profiles, have existed as long or longer than many FBS conferences. Today, we’ll switch gears and meet one of the newer kids on the block: the Great Midwest Athletic Conference, or G-MAC.
Note: this is not to be confused with the Great Midwest Conference, which existed from 1990-1995 and served mostly as a vehicle for awarding conference championships to the Cincinnati Bearcats men’s basketball team.
Anyways, the G-MAC formed in the 2012-13 season, cobbled together from teams that had departed the West Virginia Intercollegiate Athletic Conference, the Great Lakes Valley Conference, and others.
