They have a better TV deal and they get those midweek MACtion games on ESPN which gives the institution lots of exposure when not much else is on TV sports wise and there are some strong teams in the MAC for football (UNI, Bowling Green, Toledo) and in basketball they are better than CUSA #10 in conference RPI compared to #22 for CUSA http://www.cbssports.com/collegebasketba...conference just my thoughts but as it is now it looks like CUSA for the foreseeable future

We are in CUSA because the frenzy of realignment had no end in sight, and CUSA wanted to stock up to protect itself against "poaching".

We got "lucky" because the very influential ECU AD, Terry Holland, made a case for us as a travel partner for ECU, and a top 50 television market.

There was no "making a bid" for the MAC, although as I understand it, Wood called virtually every conference in America in order to assess possibilities when VCU left the CAA. They all were not interested.
