Beating a dead horse, YSU to MAC?
goodnews:
According to philly.com, Temple is in talks to return to the Big East to fill WVU's 2012 schedule vacancy.......
Wick250:
The athletic budgets in the MAC are many millions more than ours. Yet the MAC is almost always inferior to the Horizon League in basketball. In football, let's give up the chance to compete for the national championship on the 2nd level so that we can acquire a coveted spot in the famous Clorox Toilet Bowl. Oh, we would also be playing without any BSC transfers since they all go to FCS programs because of the NCAA "instant-transfer" rule. Ohioans just don't get it: fans of real FBS powers consider the MAC and the Sunbelt to be a joke, and bad joke at that.

I want us to be in a conference, where we can have rivalries. The MAC would give us that. Football battles against, Kent and Akron every year would play to sell out crowds. We would have Buffalo to the North of us. We will never compete for a championship in the Horizon.. That is being a realist. WE SEEM TO THINK A FCS championship means more in the football world, it doesnt matter to anybody but the ones that are in it, plus u lose money to achieve it. Its about exposure and money and the MAC get way more exposure as well as a little more money than YSU being in the FCS. For some reason we are still stuck in the 90's and think the sports public cares about FCS or 1AA...they dont and ESPN doesnt either. They didnt have the last few FCS games on the main channel vs back in the 90's when CBS had it...But that being said...WE ARE BEATING A DEAD HORSE
