They'd provide a short-term benefit but the MAC would have to add another team to make it an even 14 then add another team once Wichita State leaves. In the long-term they would come away having 2 extra mouths to feed. Just best off staying at 12 teams.

Yeah, I don't think Wichita is a bad option. In fact, they would be a boost to whatever conference would add them. But the problem is teams come in pairs and the only conference that could take a pair of teams right now is the SBC.

If they could convince Missouri State to come with them then I could see it actually being a beneficial situation for all parties involved.

The thing about that though is I don't think the SB wants to have 2 FCS pull ups at the same time..again. If that was an option I think NMSU would be added as a full member, which is still a better candidate than Missouri St currently.
