If the Metro wasn't going to go with the 16 member option

then it should have at least gone with the 12 member option so it could have been the first conference to play a CCG. The bylaw existed so anyone could have beaten the SEC to the punch.

Was the Southern truly a conference or a confederation like the ECAC? ** -- VTHokie2000 04/06/2017 5:29PM

Never saw any mention of confederation. See link. -- IB4TECH 04/06/2017 5:41PM

I think it is semantics since the ECAC has 243 members from all -- VTHokie2000 04/06/2017 5:54PM

It would be interesting to see exactly how the SoCon operated. Good points ** -- IB4TECH 04/06/2017 6:24PM

It wasn't really a conference back then -- mrcaniac 04/07/2017 6:01PM

The only thing odd about the proposed divisions for the Metro -- VTHokie2000 04/06/2017 2:46PM

They would have been cross over rivals maybe? -- Mr. Touchdown 04/06/2017 3:50PM

Assuming the conference played an 8 game conference schedule -- VTHokie2000 04/06/2017 3:57PM
