If under consideration, NIU should do a deep dive on if the Alliance would make sense. Bigger crowds, better TV, presumably more Saturday games. There are definitely a few reasons to at least consider a move if the option exists. If NIU were interested in the Alliance, the best angle would be to talk up a connection to Chicago and the exposure having them in the conference would bring to the Alliance in the Chicago market. It seems the early list of expansion candidates for the Alliance are bringing TV markets with them.


Also, noted that WAC commish Benson is moving to the Sun Belt. No reason not think he will either merge the two or take from the WAC to improve the Sun Belt. I like the MAC but NIU needs to at least consider any options that exist. The landscape is changing very fast.

CAA also just announced a TV deal with NBC Sports. There is definitely money out there to be had.

Too bad that doesn't apply to us because the MAC is owned by ESPN.
