Any MAC teams for expansion interest?
Not really framiliar with the MAC geography, but I know they had a good year on the field. Seems better than an FCS team.

UMass. That's about it in terms of potential Big East schools unless we see even worse defections than what we think is the worst case scenario.

Having very good seasons Ball State - Ohio drew 10,000 and NIU - Toledo
drew 17,000. Not good TV draws either.

Toledo is my choice. Northern Illinios is next but they really have to beef up the football stadium if they did come. I like the MAC though. Kind of hope it stays how it is.

NIU if any, and that's because I live so close to the school.

I grew up 20 minutes from Muncie (Ball State's hometown), surely you jest at their inclusion, it's not a big town at all and doesn't carry the area even when they are playing well, let alone the state.
