absolutely, how about we start winning games against foes from these "better" conferences? Oh wait, we just lost to IPFW, out of their powerhouse conference. Build a new arena, win a NCAA game and then talk to me about moving out of the MAC. The apathy that surrounds the city of Akron sports fans, or maybe it's the love fest for OSU, will never allow a "cincinnati" type football revival. How dare you ever mock the buckeyes around NE Ohio. Start consistently winning in football and in basketball, the new arena and wins in the tourny, then we will see if we could jump conferences. Long, Long, ways away folks.
