The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) celebrates its 50th year of intercollegiate competition with the 2020-21 academic school year. Located in Norfolk, Va., the MEAC is made up of 11 outstanding historically black institutions across the Atlantic coastline: Bethune-Cookman University, Coppin State University, Delaware State University, Florida A&M University, Howard University, University of Maryland Eastern Shore, Morgan State University, Norfolk State University, North Carolina A&T State University, North Carolina Central University and South Carolina State University.
The MEAC sponsors 16 Division I (FCS) sports: baseball, bowling, men's and women's basketball, men's and women's cross country, football, men's and women's tennis, men's and women's track & field, softball, volleyball and men's golf. The MEAC receives automatic NCAA qualification bids in nine sports - baseball, men's and women's basketball, women's bowling, men's golf, men's and women's tennis, softball and volleyball. The MEAC's football champion is pitted against the champion of the Southwestern Athletic Conference (SWAC) in the Celebration Bowl, which debuted in December 2015.
MEAC student-athletes excel on and off the field, and several have been recognized on ESPN the Magazine/CoSIDA Academic All-America and All-District teams. The conference sponsors All-Academic teams in each of its sports and awards two post-graduate scholarships of $5,000 each annually to one male and one female student-athlete who have excelled academically and athletically and are in their final season of intercollegiate athletics eligibility and competition under MEAC and NCAA regulations.
This weekend we have everyone scheduled for a weekend pre-season practice match, then real games start next week. Please check the schedules to make sure your team is listed, and you're on it! If not, contact [GYO] Shawn#4906 or TiSh?aqua#8619 immediately on Discord so we can get you fixed up!

If the time of a match doesn't work for your squad, use the Reschedule function to propose new times. Subs are allowed, so long as they are members of your school and signed up on GYO!
We have academic awards for the league this year, which means you could win $250+ for each of our game titles. And just for showing up each week, one Step-In award winner will score $50. Not bad for a night gaming.
This is your LAST CHANCE to sign up!
We are seeking several players to fill out rosters for every school, so if you have not signed up yet - here's your shot. Fill in this simple form and we'll reach out to you and get you on a squad. Each school can submit MULTIPLE rosters, so even if you know others already have a squad, there can be room for you, too.
Free Agent FormGood Afternoon my MEAC Family!
Just wanted to send out an official email about Pre-Season changes and reminders. So let's hop into it!
Pre-Season will start Friday this week and go to Sunday. The weekend schedule will be posted tomorrow. I highly suggest completing them if you can so that you all can be ready for next week especially if you are new to the process.
The official season starts next Tuesday. The schedule will be posted on Monday at the latest! Please make sure that you are ready to play from 7pm-9pm. Remember that Step-In Awards will be active starting next week and that these matches will count towards your stats and getting that Step-In Award and the $50 prize that comes with it!
I have made a #resources channel in the MEAC server. This is so that everyone has access to what they need to be successful in the league. If you have any questions please stop there before making a support ticket.
I have also figured out why people are getting kicked out of the server when joining. You have to do 2 things to stay in the server. You must agree to the terms of the rules which should pop up when you join. You also need to verify your email. If you do not do that in 5 mins, it will kick you out of the server and you will have to start the process over. Click the link here to see the video!
Again as always, please reach out to our techs in #support-ticket if you have concerns or you can find me as well. I'm always online and here to help as best as I can.
Keep being awesome!
Yours truly,
Charity

Good Afternoon!
We heard you loud and clear, and we're adjusting to create the league YOU want. So let's hop into it!
CoD will take the place of Splitgate for MEAC Esports Season 2. We will play every Thursday from 7pm-9pm. I will make a poll on which CoD that will be in the Discord.
Here is a reminder that our Tryout stream is tomorrow at 7pm EST.
Speaking of Tryouts, I have a form that I need for everyone to fill out. You can access the form here. It shouldn't take you no more than 5 mins of your time!
Again as always, please reach out to our techs in #support-ticket if you have concerns or you can find me as well. I'm always online and here to help as best as I can.
Keep being awesome!
Yours truly,
Charity
