I'll ask again. Is MVFC membership worth paying a huge travel budget to remote locations to play teams that YSU fans care little about?
The BSC gets 4 invites, the CAA and OVC and Southland all get three. The MVFC...two...just like the MEAC. Earlier I wrote that a return to Independent status was preferable, and I still believe that. I'll add now that another conference affiliation will offer easier competition, a better record, MORE invites to the post-season, a lower travel budget, and possibly better attendence. Maybe MVFC membership offers a recruiting advantage, but I doubt it.
This season, I marveled at how Fordham played a weak SOS, barely beats feeble programs, was ranked high in the polls and made the post-season with ease. I was wondering if they were going to be seeded! With a season of Holy Cross's and Bucknell's, YSU would not have finished 8-4.
Seriously...someone tell me why MVFC memebership makes sense for YSU...
