Looking back: Greenville ruled the roost in 2010, as the Illinois-based Panthers won the Upper Midwest Athletic Conference (UMAC) title with an unbeaten mark of 6-0 in conference play. In an unusual development, a season-ending contest between Crown and Minnesota-Morris was cancelled due to heavy snow.
Looking ahead: Presentation College, located in Aberdeen, South Dakota, makes its debut on the football field in 2011, and will play in the UMAC.
