Quote:MAC:
The MAC has an will likely always be a regional conference in the Ohio and Michigan area. The only two school likely to move on would be the 2 football only members, Temple and UMass. But as one of the only even somewhat eastern conferences that would accept FCS upgrades, you could see it as a transitional home for schools in the area such as JMU, Delaware, Charlotte, Appalachian St., Georgia Southern, Georgia St. and ODU. Note that each of those schools would prefer the SEC, ACC or Big East, but they will not be options. They all would likely want into the CUSA/MWC merger if they upgraded, but even that is not likely. The Sun Belt might have room for 1-2 from the south. But it’s the MAC that would be the only real option, with the conference accepting the basketball scheduling agreement as part of the pact.

Probability of expanding in the near future: unlikely. If FCS schools upgrade, the MAC could show interest.

Candidates:
JMU
Delaware
Charlotte
Appalachian St.
Georgia Southern
Georgia St.
ODU

What do the MAC fans out there think about this article I found today? I have never considered my beloved school as a possible addition to the MAC but if one of our possible rivals were to join us, especially Georgia State or Appalachian State then I would be very excited about the possibility. This could expand the conference footprint and possibly help current MAC schools with recruiting the southeast. I know it's a long shot but I just wanted to hear what MAC fans thought about this if it were to ever gain traction.
