It's behind a paywall and not worth it. Maybe someone will post an actual write-up.

If we get in on the MACtion.... That's an upgrade over C-USA. C-USA is losing two members to the Sun Belt, but people aren't talking much about how/if the MAC will replace NIU to the MWC.

The MAC could stay at 9 teams, but getting back to 10 by adding a CA football only team would have same appeal as it does for C-USA: Media Market, CA Recruiting/Games, and Competitive Potential.

Drop UMass as well and replace them with Tarleton State. But that is some serious travel and a lot of cold weather games.

None of these remote conferences would be too bad for football only. Team flys charter and only 4-5 times a season. What ever late season games in cold weather sites couldn't be any worse than playing outdoors at Montana, Montana State, EWU, Weber or UNC late in the season.

Am I missing something but I believe the MAC is still at 12 teams without NIU?

I can’t say I ever thought about Sac being apart of the infamous MACtion that made weekday college football something to look forward to. SACtion, can that be a thing? CUSA is right there with them now with the amount of weekday games but overall as a conference it’s become the teams that didn’t want to be FCS anymore but are still basically FCS.

Looking at the attendance in a big majority of weekday games in the MAC was kinda sad, and I know CUSA is probably same, many games with only 5-10k. Maybe with a new stadium, there would be interest with people wanting to attend weekday games in Sac but I just hope overtime that we would not become like that.
 
Honestly… To become FBS and play 4-5 road games per season to Midwest. No big deal.

It’s most likely not going to last longer than a 5 yr run past 2030’ ish but it would be great for Hornet FB and great for the MAC.

I’m excited for FBS and the MAC in my opinion is 1 step behind the MWC & American. But much better than many other possible FBS conferences with smaller conference revenues.

I think MAC fans would welcome and enjoy having SAC ST and playing / recruiting in CA

You are right, they go from 13 to 12. Not sure what I was looking at…

Looking in the mirror. UMass.

CUSA would be a better option. NIU left for a reason.
