As the region turns

Another domino falling in the seemingly never-ending Mid-Atlantic shuffle. The Middle Atlantic Conference is looking more and more like the Pennsylvania Athletic Conference, and the PAC is looking more like the North Eastern Athletic Conference.

The Skyline is looking NEAC-y as well, though, aside from Mount St. Mary at the top, it will be better balanced in most sports.

As the pieces shuffle in the middle, you have to wonder about some of the schools remaining in their original conference. The MAC’s Lebanon Valley, Messiah and Elizabethtown have seen the shape of their league change significantly in the past couple of years. Similarly with the PnAC and Cabrini and Gwynedd-Mercy. The NEAC … well, maybe not there. There weren’t many fully staffed athletic departments in the league before, and with Villa Julie gone, there are going to be fewer.

Is there another change in store for the teams mentioned? Is the area finally going to be at peace?
