UNI to the MAC following Temple's exit?

[Codytwo]

This is just a dream of mine, but really, the MAC is where we would fit if we were ever to make a move up.

NO!.....



Did you hear this or are you just throwing dreams out there?

Re: UNI to the MAC following Temple's exit?

I'm just throwing dreams out there. I think it would be cool to go up, but is it really worth it when we wouldn't be as competitive?

1. Why leave the MVC... im very oppsed to leaving the MVC. I dont think the MAC is looking for football only teams at this point

2. Wed compete in the MAC most years

I would never make an all sport jump. If they would let us in as a football only member I would be all for it. It would bring in an immediate 1.5 million on 3 non con road games a year. If we can't fund an additional 22 schollys on 1.5 mil we have some problems.

Look no further than App State. They have a contract with Michigan, in it it states their contract goes from 900K to 1.6K if they are FBS.

The argument of "who will come to the dome to watch us play Miami of Ohio?"

Well, who the hell is coming to watch us play Western Illinois? Or Youngstown State? Or Savannah State?

I agree, terrible move if its all sports, not worth the jump. However, if the MAC calls and says "we are looking for a football only member" "you interested?" We should do jumping jacks to let them know we are...

Do you guys have any idea how bad our attendance would be in the MAC.

I think we are still providing more scholarships to men than the women. Or the women's scholarships are not equal to their percentage of the student body. Maybe both.

Re: UNI to the MAC following Temple's exit?

We have more women's sports than men's, isn't that enough?

We may compete in the MAC, but the best case scenario is a crappy bowl on December 27th.

Or we could play in a half empty soccer stadium in Frisco on an afternoon in January without getting a check for being there...

Re: UNI to the MAC following Temple's exit?

But at least we'd be able to say that we have a National Championship if we were to win there!

That's a good point, BC. We're not getting any more acclaim for playing in Frisco than we would in a lower-tier bowl game. Although the idea of joining the bowl ranks instead of a system that decides it's champion on the field makes my skin crawl, I have to agree that a football-only move wouldn't bother me.

Do you realize teams actually have to PAY to play in the lower tier bowl games?
