How good is the MVFC
Penguin Nation:
I like it.
I would add North Dakota to the west. They want to renew the NDSU rivalry.
Add EIU to the East.

That is EXACTLY how it should be Happy. EXACTLY. Why would you want it any other way?
The SEC was "allowed" to get away with anything because of $$$ from GE (ABC/ESPN). Now the future of the FBS/IA is "in the crapper". Do you want the same thing to happen to FCS/I-AA?

"IF" that's exactly how it should be then there should be no "b****ING" about the playoff snub. As long as the NCAA want to represent all conferences better teams will suffer and the best team will not get a chance to settle it on the field. I wonder how the playoff's will look at the 1FBS level with the every conference represented LOL!!

Much better if you ask me. Otherwise this year we will see 3 teams from the SEC and one from the PAC-10. NONE from the Big-10. Of course they will hold out for FSU being "for real", but then everyone will complain that the ACC stinks (which it does), etc, etc, etc.. The only solution is equal representation. That is unless you are scared that the MAC and SWAC will win a game.

Frankly , hadn't though much about it, but "moving" the entire MVFC "up" to FBS is a novel idea that has merits. Lets face it, I-AA or FCS has been a b@stard child to the NCAA. The tournament selections are criminal many years and the division is a mis-mash of schollie, part schollie and non-schollie teams with all treated as though they are the same and they are NOT. That's a major part of the screwing process the NCAA puts to teams like YSU in the division
I'm sure, if the MVFC grandfathered all in, so no major expense is required to join the league , it would look attractive. Then reduce a league fee for all new add-ins and you would get some bites on joining. Once in a FBS league, scheduling improves and better quality teams come to town to draw fan interest. Not to mention opening up the MAC for home & home games with another FBS league (us).
League rules could set up limitations so costs are controlled, more "blood" games can be had with FBS teams, and bowl games become a goal. Food for thought !
Penguin Nation:
Massey ranks the MVFC above the Sun Belt and MAC already......maybe MAC teams could be lured into upgrading to the MVFC.
Let's face it.....we are not getting into the playoffs...so we're not giving that up.
Would again be able to play BIG 10 schools as an FBS conference.
