I don't see any correlation OR causation for going to the MAC based on the fact that we scheduled MAC teams in baseball.

So we scheduled MAC baseball teams for what? To help us have a better baseball team? Last I checked the MAC hasn't had very many Teams make the Baseball NCAA Postseason anything. Maybe they want more teams to see our new stadium? If that's the case go south not north.

Apparently you missed Kent State going all the way to the CWS last year...anyway, just because we schedule teams from a conference in another sport does not mean that we necessarily are looking to join that conference for football (or all sports), so maybe we scheduled them to help our RPI for baseball

Ha true. I guess bowling green made it for the MAC bid this year. I just really wish we could've scheduled some real teams like Clemson for a rematch etc. . Im just wishful thinking! So what's the big news??? Is ODU, JMU, Delaware playing us in Lynchburg?

UMass is averaging around 15,500 after two home games ....... if we do get an invite "someday", without a doubt I prefer the MAC over the Sunbelt.

Ouch. We tried that recipe before for years and it never worked out real well and those were with teams from weaker conferences than the ACC and MAC. Conversely, if we wanna play at the next level we need to play 'up' not 'down'. And we needy to actually win some.
