I should have been more clear. The better and more marketable programs currently in the MW are going to the new Pac 12.

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.

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.
Exactly. Everything is palatable as a football only situation. That said I'm not buying into any of these rumors until something official is announced.
