Would the greater MAC give Toledo and NIU the full boot if they moved football?

The MAC ... like where Western Michigan and Miami of Ohio play?

100% but mvc or horizon would be good fits.

I hope they go somewhere but for all sports

tired of hearing the forum 3 some complaining they are a cut above fcs.

What I believe the MWC is trying to do is brilliant. 

• Add two all-sport schools (hit the minimum needed of 8)
• Add a few Football only schools (Solid G-5 FBS programs)
• Add a few non-Football schools (Top B-Ball programs, ex: St.Mary's)

 

Impressive if it all comes together.

So (Pac) WasSU and OrSU snipe San Diego St, Boise St, Colo St, Fresno St, and Utah St from MWC. 

What's left of MWC is San Jose St, Nevada, UNLV, Air Force, UNM, and Wyo. 

If UNLV and Air Force had taken the Pac offer the remainder would be really stuck. 

As it is, they're all kinda stuck: reach across country to other FBS schools or FCS call-up. 

Still say WasSU and OrSU should've sucked it up and joined the MWC.

If we're going to the MAC, let's get St Thomas to come with, and leave USD in the dust.
