Wally B Posted February 13, 2005 Report Posted February 13, 2005 Hey sports fans..... Bob, Tom.... Christie.. Been a while since I've had a chance to post, you know....... done w/ College...Life happens. First, thanks to all those who contribute. As a far away fan, Zips Nation is my only reliable thread of information. Has anyone noticed the news reports that suggest Temple would likely join the MAC now that they have been kicked out of the BE? Seeing how they only played football there, while the rest of the school competes in the Atlantic 10, I don't see this happening. I could see a team from a large market like Philly being enticing to the league though. Sorta like Buffalo! Since then I've started to see some really crazy shit! Check out this thread on CollegeSportsInfo.com. They see the MAC as a basketball conference, and have no idea that the D1a attendance rules will probably be dropped or largely ignored. Meanwhile efforts to enforce and promote academic eligibility (a MAC strength) will expand. CollegeSportsInfo.com Don't miss the post from CONVOY It reads, and I "Quote"! I am a FAU Alumni with a relative in the MAC office. I am not too happy about what may be happening to the SBC. Word out of the MAC office is they are going to lose 2 to CUSA, and to replace them they are talking with WKU (Western Kentucky) and MTSU. These meetings are taking place on the Presidents level. Hope the SBC can survive. Oaky Q? Is he refering to MU and CFU?? Or should we suspect more changes are on the way? If there are, then who would be leaving the MAC next. The Ohio/Michigan/Indiana (Balls) teams (and their associated rivalries) would be foolish to join CUSA which is concentrating its teams in the Mid-south (Marshall dumb-asses). Same goes for NIU, too far away and 1 bowl game doesn't make you an elite program. That leaves the Buffers. Like they'd be looking to upgrade!!! Take it way boys, and keep the info comming! WB Quote
Guest Dummy Posted February 13, 2005 Report Posted February 13, 2005 I think the writer is referring to the SUN BELT losing two schools to the CUSA -- not the MAC. Not sure how much room the CUSA has to grow. Quote
