Unless the MAC can draw in two more good A-10ish schools for a 16 team conference..

If UMass and Temple are in Football Only ad then we can offer Richmond and another ecet east coast program (like Deleware or JMU) all of the suddent the MAC might have the makings of a pretty solid multu bid league!

If Temple/UMass/Richmond/ and Deleare are all in the MAC for football offering them all Basketball with an East division contaning them along with Buffalo, Akron, Kent, and Ohio suddenly is pretty good.

It would put the West schools in a bind but you have to think a risiing tide would raise all boats..

I'd say you could look at any two schools such as Dayton, Xavier, Richmond, Cleveland State, Wright State, or Delaware all sports except football. 14 in football and 16 in basketball.
