ICAC settles on name change
The Indiana Collegiate Athletic Conference, facing the loss of conference members DePauw and Rose-Hulman, announced a new name to match its new membership. Effective immediately, the ICAC will be known as the Heartland Collegiate Athletic Conference.
The name change was prompted by the addition of three Ohio schools, Bluffton, Mt. St. Joseph and Wilmington, bringing the HCAC to eight schools. All ICAC records will be carried forward.
No winner was announced in the renaming contest held by the ICAC; however, two people who submitted entries through D3hoops.com suggested the name eventually chosen. Congratulations to Todd Spurgeon (Wabash '96) and Doug Porterfield, a self-proclaimed Hampden-Sydney fan from the Washington, D.C., area.
Eight other entries that we passed along had some variation of the term Heartland in their title.
