PHILADELPHIA, Pennsylvania -- They must be sitting back and holding their breath within the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference.Hoping nothing else unexpected, and too often bad, happens.
It was strange enough to have five of the conference's 11 football teams tie for the title last season. Ever since then, the offseason has taken its share of twists and turns for all the champs.
The latest occurrence came this week when North Carolina Central's All-MEAC performer Adrian Wilkins became eligible for the NFL supplemental draft next month, forsaking his final season of eligibility with the Eagles.
North Carolina Central, Bethune-Cookman, Morgan State, North Carolina A&T and South Carolina State each finished 6-2 in MEAC games last season to earn a share of the conference title. Morgan State moved on to represent the MEAC in the FCS playoffs for the first time after earning the conference's automatic bid on a tiebreaker.
