The MVFC is a powerhouse conference, but if that is not appreciated by the selection committee, than what is the point of being in the MVFC.
There are other FCS conferences in which the travel budget would be lower, and we would have our name engraved on their auto-bid. The SOS could overall increase with non-"weenie" OOC opponents. One example is Fordham will play Army, and prolly beat them because Army is FBS in name only. We could wallop MAC and other lowly FBS teams, increase fan interest, and improve SOS.
If ANY MVFC teams get screwed by the selection committee, than its either time to leave the MVFC, or accept that we'll rarely see the post-season. Some say, "well just win." When you are in the MVFC, its like fighting Floyd Mayweather every Saturday. Its just not that simple.
All that said....I think a win on Saturday and YSU is in.

The MVFC is definitely an absolute pain in the ass for families friends and fans to travel too.
Penguin Nation:
Interesting thread on AGS re: which team(s) would you kick out of your conference if you could. Near 100% of MVFC respondents mentioned YSU.
I don't see any animosity toward YSU, but rather recognition that it is a bad fit regionally and also due to our lack of membership in the Summit/MVC.
The "the MVFC is the toughest conference" reason to stay in the MVFC is outweighed by travel costs, fan interest, and enhanced likelihood to appear in the post-season. I'd rather brag about being in the post-season and having a better record than brag about being in the MVFC.

I just posted my .02 on that. Could care less really about the MVFC, but I would like to win the conference a couple more times before leaving ...so as not to be considered running-away.

I guess my general feeling is if you are on the bubble for a 20 or 24 team playoff field than you weren't that good anyway and aren't going to make any meaningful noise in the playoffs. 8-4? Yawn.
