I guess that the MAC Brass/ESPN saw some of the post here about joking about the 'MAC After Dark!' If true, I am Totally against this move. Especially if there if it is NOT All Sports and NO Travel Partner.... EDIT: This is not Hawai'i in the WAC days at 11PM Eastern at home playing in the WAC 'Saturday Night Shootout!' At least they had the excuse of playing on a Island 2000 Miles off the Mainland and we(If awake) saw the Game at 11Pm Eastern....

No idea if this is true due to this is Via Twitter...... https://www.on3.com/news/detroits-bowl-game-canceled-after-29-years/

From what I have seen is that the payouts for the MWC is very unbalanced. I have no clue what North Dakota State is getting if they are in, but NIU is probably getting shafted in the long run just to get out of Weeknight Football Games and take a major Downgrade to the Horizon League for everything else. Even if they got a Second 'Get out of the MAC Jail' Free Card.....

I heard that too! People are saying numbers in the portal up to 4K? There is no way there is that many!

I missed this one: This is the Arizona State Coach basically begging for 20 MILLION DOLLARS! Good luck finding that in a City where just about everyone is form somewhere else..... https://x.com/Blakes_Take2/status/2002449117914804380?s=20

I am surprised that this has not popped up the Twitter Page Empty Seats Galore(@EmptySeatsPics)

IMHO Northwestern is not a comparable example. However a School like Rice is. Even with their small enrollment, seem to have similar academic standards as Northwestern. They have more money then they know what to do with and the only Sport they cared about for years was Baseball. Now is seems like their Admin there is actually at least trying to care(or at least the illusion) that they care. We can even look within our own Conference with Miami if you like with them being a Public Ivy. To fix the problem, it has to start at the top

That joke was awful! Funny, but awful!

IDK about that. IIRC, The last team that was put into that position was LSU, and if that was the case. The MAC does not have the Juice that the SEC has. The NCAA would have made Akron an example, unless there was no other options left.....

Do we have to play UMass and NIU this year? That SOS is going to kill us! 🤮

I would love to have it in Canton, but with no Dome makes it impossible.....

I want that too! However lets get 3 teams in(JMU, AAC Champ, UNLV). I know that it will not happen, but plausible

That is a great idea, in theory only. Now your direct competition is High School Football and that will be a non starter for a lot of Football fans that would have to pick between the two.... Edit: Now that I think about you idea more, lets just start playing at 9:30am on Saturday Morning as the lead in for College Gameday(as a example)
