FCS Conference Belt The MEAC Belt

The MEAC Belt

A companion lineage restricted to MEAC: the belt passes to whoever beats the holder, exactly like the real belt, but only games between two MEAC members COUNT — and only for the seasons both sides were actually in MEAC at the time. Caught it by beating Morgan State on November 16, 2024. Defended it 6 more times since.
