2015-16 MAC titles
Update:

From going from what has been posted, here is the count I'm at:

1. Akron (5): men's soccer*, men's soccer, men's basketball*, men's indoor track, women's swimming.

2. EMU (4): men's cross country, men's swimming, women's cross country, women's indoor track.

3t. Ohio (2): women's volleyball, women's basketball*

3t. Kent (2): Gymnastics, field hockey (women?)

3t. BG (2): football*, football

3t. Buffalo (2): men's basketball, women's basketball.

7t. Ball State (1): women's soccer*

7t. Northern Illinois (1): Volleyball*

7t. WMU (1): women's soccer

7t. Missouri (1): Wrestling

* denotes regular season title.

P.S, is football a regular season and title game sport? Usually, I'd say no, but BG, iir, had the best record and won the MAC title game. For now, I'd say that counts as two, but I can be talked out of that.

NOTES: Akron men's soccer went to the final four; Akron's Clayton Murphy was the NCAA national indoor champion in the T&F 800 meters.

(fill me in on other national achievements and I'll update).

Finally, Director's Cup standings (MAC teams in the top 100, through the fall sports)
47. Akron (points in football, men's soccer)
90. WMU (points in football, women's soccer).
-----------

What is the sport by sport count for MAC titles so far this year? Akron has picked up three this week in the winter sports...men's basketball (regular season), men's indoor track and women's swimming.

That is along with the men's soccer team winning another regular season and tournament title (and going to the Final Four).

Who else has won league (regular season or tournament titles) this school year? Obviously, some, like BG's football titles are easy to find, but I'm curious in seeing an overall, sport-by-sport list.

EMU swept xcountry. I think Kent won field Hockey. BSU was regular season soccer champ but WMU took the tournament. NIU topped the volleyball regular season standings but OU won the tournament. EMU women took the indoor track title.

They can be found by going to the below link. Under the championships tab you can check to see who is the current champion by sport. The catch is you have to click on each sport to see who the champions are. There are 20 tabs and I'm wanting to say 23 total MAC sports.

UB won three last season but has been down this year. Hopefully this is a blip in what has been a trend of improvement.

I hate post-season tournaments. And yes, a title is a title! Congrats to the Cats. Well done!

Saying that regular season championships "don't mean jack" is a bit of an exaggeration, nonetheless in collegiate basketball the conference tournament championship, not the regular season championship, is what is most valued. Winning the regular season conference championship lets you hang a banner but winning the conference tournament lets you hang a banner and gets you an invitation to the NCAA Tournament, the Holy Grail of collegiate basketball (and a major revenue source for MBB) and that is the ONLY way to get that invitation to the NCAA Tournament if you play in a one-bid conference such as the MAC.

So for the mid-majors, perhaps in a sense the regular season conference standings in collegiate basketball have become little more than a seeding device for the REAL conference championship, namely the tournament championship.

True enough, but in the team sports that have a defined regular season, you can't knock a school for claiming a title if it was the best over a period of several months. Maybe basketball, volleyball and baseball are the best examples since you are talking about a 15-20 game/match schedule.

While the tourney gives you the NCAA berth, there is probably more truth to the regular season champ being the true MAC champ, more often than not.

Doesn't matter for the point of this thread. Just want to track titles, whether regular or postseason.

I am happy to learn that women's field hockey is a MAC sport. Being from Illinois, field hockey is as common as a successful Illini football coach.

Updated to include Buffalo's big week. Congrats to the Bulls, though tough to swallow due to the close losses Buffalo handed both the Akron men and women in Cleveland.

RE: 2015-16 MAC titles
I would not include "regular season titles" as they are pretty meaningless in the grand scheme of things.. A few years UB has won a regualr season title but failed to get it done in the tournament (mens tennis I think)..

i would totally include regular season titles. in fact, I might even be inclined to include ONLY regular season titles. I mean, isn't that what the all-sports trophy standings are based on?
