But I would love to be in a smaller conference based on quality.

What is the time table for the marshall baseball project?

Right now, for example, lets say a nearby school brings 1000 fans to your stadium and on the return trip you take 3000. Each school charges $30 per ticket. The other school is sticking it in your gut because you spent 90,000 at their ticket booth and they spent only 30,000 at yours. 4000 is not an unrealistic figure for a school that is serious about their program and this mandate would balance the books, they help you out as well as you helping them. Right now schools with puny fan bases feast off the others.

Oh, I understand that since Marshall out travels the rest of the conference, but based on your criteria it wouldn't even include us. We aren't within 250 miles of anyone in the conference. I believe WKU is the closest at 287.5 miles.
