Syracuse University and the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference (MEAC) today announced they have signed a first-of-its-kind agreement, creating an alliance designed to connect institutions, students-athletes, staff and alumni.

The 10-year partnership, which is already underway, creates multiple opportunities for collaboration between Syracuse and the MEAC's member institutions.

One of the key components of the alliance is an athletics scheduling agreement that has a goal of up to 50 competitions between Syracuse and the MEAC institutions over the course of the next 10 years. Contracts have already been signed between Syracuse and Morgan State in football (scheduled for 2029) and between Syracuse and Morgan State in women's basketball (Nov. 17, 2021). In Spring 2022, Syracuse softball will play Maryland Eastern Shore and Coppin State.

Obviously 2029 is a long way away, but Morgan State is currently coached by Tyrone Wheatley with Jerome Smith as the RB coach.

Maybe the hay will be in the barn by then.

I need to start forming some alliances. Feeling left out.

Cool idea. No sane person will sh%t on this move. Also like the fact that it was announced during Liberty week. Helps to remove some of the bad taste in my mouth from scheduling them.

This is GREAT. Proud of this. And much needed given the "oy" events at multiple points this year.

Agree. I think there was an announcement last year that the ACC was going to start working closer with HBCUs. Not sure a lot came of it.

Good to see some concrete actions here.

I kind of hope we offer a basketball away game or two. I really love this outside-the-box thinking.

@Howard played in Burr Gymnasium would be pretty cool.
