Column on MEAC respect coming with postseason success, if they can obtain it. I think the MEAC can really make their mark OOC as several schools have been upgrading their schedules, showing their commitment to their respective chases for playoff spots...

Gorgeous morning. Snazzy oceanfront hotel. Perfect setting for the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference's annual football media day, where hope sprang eternal and everyone was undefeated.
Seemed as good a time as any to belly-flop into the punch bowl and ask about the MEAC's postseason schneid (This is why we don't get invited to parties very often).
Anyway, the MEAC in general and Hampton University in particular field quality teams. They have respected coaches. They play on television. They land players in the NFL.
And when they advance to the Division I-AA -- excuse me, Football Championship Subdivision -- playoffs, they come up empty.
