I have a 3 letter answer to this problem. (which exists most years) OVC.

My first choice most likely will never happen so either the OVC or the CAA would be a much better choice, interest wise, then where we are now.

Both the OVC and the CAA have odd number of teams so we could balance somebody else.
It just seems to me that at the Dakota and west travel doesn't make good for rivalries and the one sport deal really sucks. We apparently want to be part of the #1 1AA football conference, but as a bottom dweller in the conference. IMO, saying "we were beaten by the best", isn't much of a claim to fame!

For the record my thoughts have nothing to do with the strength of our league, our goal should always be to win the league we are in and run the table to win the NC. Early on the teams in our league were ok but with the western movement that has occurred my interest has waned.
Wick250:
We find ourselves members of this football-only FCS league primarily because the gutless NCAA did not have the courage to enforce their own rules. On paper the requirement for FBS membership is an average of 15,000 fans, butts in seats, at your games. Proper enforcement would have relegated all the Ohio MAC schools, except Toledo, to FCS status. But no. The NCAA allowed nonentities like Akron first to lie about attendance and then actually have that university "buy" tickets to their own freakin' games and count that farce. We should be members of an Ohio-dominant FCS all-sports MAC conference.
As far as the MVFC, the problem with expansion to the west, in addition to obvious geographic distance, is the fact that it forces members to compete with the primary state institutions in North Dakota and South Dakota. Those two schools have unlimited resources compared to the members of the old Gateway conference. In fact, a school like Western Illinois is actually struggling to keep their doors open.
