The Midwestern City Conference, later renamed the Midwestern Collegiate Conference, had the MCC initials first. When the AMCU became the Mid-Continent, I have the same recollection of it as Rikster2usually being referred to by the media as the Mid-Con, since there was already an MCC. However, there was sometimes confusion when MCC was used, because people wondered which conference's name was being abbreviated. In other words, even though MCC was generally not being used by the media to identify the Mid-Con, readers weren't sure which league was the MCC, resulting in the Midwestern Collegiate losing its direct link to the MCC identity. It didn't help that teams moved between these two conferences. Rescuing its unique identity was one reason the Midwestern Collegiate started considering a name change, which ultimately happened.
If abbreviations are to be used for that era, I suggest MCC for Midwestern City/Collegiate and Mid-Con for Mid-Continent, since those are the ones commonly found in the media during the period the two co-existed. I would continue using Mid-Con for the Mid-Continent for the six years it existed alongside the renamed Summit League. Taxman1913 (talk) 04:12, 12 June 2024 (UTC)Reply
