The conference's issue is their lack of top-to-bottom good teams. You know, the kind where your impact players usually do not make the NFL, but may see a tryout at best ... but play their hearts out. Not sure how old this list is, but former MAC players in the NFL:

Akron: 6
Ball State: 7
BGSU: 8
SUNY-Buffalo: 4
CMU: 9
EMU: 8
Kent: 5
Miami: 10
NIU: 12
Ohio: 3
Toledo: 10
WMU: 5
-------------------------------
Marshall: 18
CFU: 15
Temple:11 (not sure how this relates to time in conference).

Thanks for sharing Fan this is really amazing when you think about it. Please keep us informed on any free agent signings for the penguins. Even tho a long shot I like kenneth Durden and Terrell Williams chances if given the opportunity in the right system

Yes, this why it is so difficult for YSU to recruit against these teams.

In response to the title of this thread - it would seem not!

Tough for me to forget cause I'd much rather watch the Guins play Akron, Kent, BG, OU and Miami than any of the schools in the Valley.  With the ever-changing landscape in college athletics, I believe one day YSU will be in a conference with most of these teams.  I just hope it's sooner than later.

Speaking of possible future shake ups.
