Voting Process
Fans of the MAC will have the opportunity to vote online for the top MAC athletes of all time. MAC 100 Century Teams will be announced in each respective sport season.
Eras of MAC History
The history of the conference is broken into three distinct time periods:
(I) 1912 to 1972-73 -- the formation of the conference until 10 larger schools broke off to form the East Coast Conference. Before the split, conference play was split between "University" and "College" divisions.
(II) 1973-74 to 1992-93 -- the conference was generally split into four sub-conferences (Northwest, Northeast, Southwest, and Southeast) until a group of schools left in 1992-93 to form the Centennial Conference
(III) 1993-94 to Today -- the modern time period of the conference, operating in an umbrella format under the Freedom, Commonwealth, and Middle Atlantic Conferences.
Each sport has been divided with these time periods and, where large sport sponsorship allows, more sub-groups. A standard team size will be elected from each era.
