According to multiple sources, the candidates include Charlotte (A-10), which is about to start playing football; Florida International (Sun Belt); North Texas (Sun Belt); UT-San Antonio (WAC); Louisiana Tech (WAC); Middle Tennessee State (Sun Belt); Western Kentucky (Sun Belt), if the Hilltoppers want to bump up the football program; Old Dominion (CAA), if the Monarchs bump up football as well; and UMass and Temple (both would be coming from MAC in football, A-10 in other sports).

The West doesn't need to be shored up, but there are obvious candidates -- New Mexico State, Utah State and San Jose State are all possibilities -- if this league wanted to raid the WAC.

WKU is already a FBS playing school.

Katz is a basketball guy so is only looking at that perspective.

The only thing new here is the alliance must be willing to take a look at FCS programs with all the FCS names thrown out there like ODU and Charlotte.

It sounds like the MAC-12 has no interest in this merger. Some of the schools certainly have the markets and attendance to be considered but I think they are waiting to see how the power dynamic plays out among the non-AQ leagues.

The MAC by looking at the computer ratings may be a stronger football conference. It weakest program Akron just hired Terry Bowden as coach and that should make the conference stronger.
