No - I wish they were still in the league since Memphis does not play UCF and UCF could have gotten that access bowl slot for AAC.

i have a feeling that next year will see memphis playing ecu and ucf again

Actually we also have several in football: 1938, 1968, 1969, 1971. Of course, those championships were won decades before UCF had a team.

Guessing the 1968-71 seasons were under the legendary Spook Murphy.

point of order - N. Texas is recognized as the 1971 MVC football champ with a 3-1 record. Memphis (St), Drake and Tulsa were listed next as tied for second with 2-1 records. Memphis went to the Pasadena Bowl simply because N. Texas only won 3 games that season.

They will have multiple trophies. The Bearcats seem to be in this position fairly often. This would be 3 out of 4 years with a conference trophy and never the ONLY champ.

Thank for clearing that up. I've been incorrect for a long time. I've been misleading folks for a few months, years, or even perhaps decades about that. I was away from home and out of the loop that season thanks to my uncle had some work he wanted me to do. :)

If that happens you get it two days a week and every third Sunday.

This does make me wonder... if there is no tie-breaker resulting in co-champs, is there only 1 trophy that uses the non-existent tie-breaker or are there multiple trophies?

Are you saying that UCF has done in a short amount of time what Memphis has done since 1938? Now I see the reason for your snicker, and I wholeheartedly agree.

As Jeb pointed out above, '71 was not a conference championship for Memphis (State). While we were the conference representative in a bowl game, the championship was won by NTSU/UNT; they just didn't win enough games to qualify for a bowl game.

We were Indy for about 25 years.
