The MEAC has found its next conference commissioner — and it didn’t have to look very far.

Sonja Stills has been picked by the MEAC to over as the league’s commissioner. Stills currently serves as the Chief of Staff and Chief Operating Officer of the conference under Dr. Dennis Thomas, the conference’s outgoing commissioner.
“I’m honored to be named the Mid-Eastern Athletic Conference’s next Commissioner,” Sonja Stills said in a statement via the MEAC.

“I’ve learned a great deal in my tenure with the conference and look forward to continuing the MEAC’s history of excellence. Thank you to the MEAC Council of Presidents and Chancellors for this opportunity and thank you to Commissioner Dr. Dennis E. Thomas for your leadership and mentorship over the past 19 years.”
Stills has been credited with numerous improvements in the conference, working with corporate sponsors and managing the conference’s budget.

...........so, she's essentially a Dennis Thomas protege? 

Ok, I guess I really don't have anything else to say cuz this is no longer my business.  My university has affiliated with another conference.  I wish the remaining Meac schools all the best.

You can still be your own person, though groomed by the predecessor.

if i was her, i'd be putting together a "strategy" that could potentially attract both hampton and a&t back to the meac down the road. what that "strategy" might be, i dunno. but she'll have a much better chance of attracting an hbcu to return to the meac than attracting "any" pwc to join...

Let's give the woman a chance. ^^^  Those schools that left did not say they were leaving because of the past leadership.  I thought they were doing what was best for their schools.

Okay let's see how it works out, but it doesn't smell too hot right now. The more I think about it I'm really thinking nobody except someone on the inside like this would touch this job with a 10-foot pole.

It must not be any viable candidates to take the MEAC job for you to promote a retread under a failing commissioner.

that's all...
