Miami (O) might drop out of MAC

Cincinnati Enquirer: Report calls for broad changes at MU

"If revenue growth of this level is not possible and a 15 percent operating budget cut is required, then we recommend that the university seriously consider our participating in the MAC," the report said.

It would be hard to imaging it happening, with Miami being a cradle of football coaches and QB's, but a report out today suggests Miami may drop out of the MAC.

If Miami dropped athletics to the FCS level, either the MVC or the Horizon would almost immediately accept it, and Miami would almost certainly find a home in the MVFC. There's also talk been talk that Bowling Green might drop down a level. If either happened, that would not be good news for UND's attempts to get into the MVFC/Summit league. The Summit would almost have to add UNO in order to get the six schools it needs.

There would be an opening there because Lakes is getting the Bison fans wound up to join the MAC. First the Big 12, then the WAC, now the MAC. He is so funny.

There would be an opening there because Lakes is getting the Bison fans wound up to join the MAC. First the Big 12, then the WAC, now the MAC. He is so funny.

The MAC has so many choices - east and west - that Lakes would need to spend the rest of his life in a monastery to ever have a prayer of a chance to see NDSU in the MAC.

Now if the WAC is down to just a few teams, Lakes may be on to something. NDSU and UND would never ever have a shot at a WAC with schools like Fresno or Boise still in it.
