ZachTheZip Posted September 8, 2008 Report Posted September 8, 2008 Gozips.com has our game against FAU listed as a conference game. A quick check on the MAC website confirms it: FAU is now a MAC member in men's soccer.Why? Why pay the travel expenses for a non-revenue sport? Why send your team north to play teams like Buffalo and Akron in the snow? Why even have the sport if it creates problems for Title IX and you can't find a closer conference to play in? Quote
