MEAC Moves South: The Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference has announced that the men’s and women’s championship tournaments will have a new home starting this season, as the conference will move the tournament to Raleigh, North Carolina. As part of a three-year deal, the MEAC could earn up to $700,000 per year in pledges from the City of Raleigh, Wake County, and the Greater Raleigh Convention and Visitors Bureau, as well as offering the RBC Center for the event itself. The tournament, scheduled for March 6-11 this season, previously was in Richmond, but had to use two different venues due to conflicts with the Colonial Association’s tournament. [9/15/05]
