Talk of booting football programs from the MAC is a long, time-honored tradition -- just like Bearcat football sucking and presidents Bush sabre-rattling.
Now its a game, too.
You can answer this question in either of two ways:
1. Which program would you MOST like to kick out of the MAC right now?
or
2. Which program would you would LEAST mind seeing disappear from the MAC (in the event, for instance, of an inability to meet NCAA attendance standards)?
I'll tally up the votes and pronounce a winner sometime next week -- either when the thread goes cold or by a deadline to be announced later.
I anticipate I'll keep asking the question until we can work the MAC down to a nice, tight, eight-team league.
Who will be in that slimmed down MAC? Keep an eye out for updates and new polls.
Let me anticipate a couple of questions:
1. Do you mean kicked out of the league for just football or for all sports?
I'll leave that open to interpretation. Football is clearly the issue here. But answer the question either way you like.
2. Why did you only offer ten choices?
That's all this bulletin board system allows. I left off four of the oldest members of the league -- schools that rarely come up in MAC contraction threads. They will be added to future polls as space allows.
Now go vote! And feel free to post thoughts in this thread.
