I would've never attended NIU if not for FBS football. There are many people like that.

The school needs FBS identity because DeKalb is a terrible location and being a directional there is no intrinsic academic draw.

Someone mentioned this elsewhere, but I’m curious of your thoughts on this as an NIU grad. I’m not interested in dogging NIU, I have a ton of respect for your program and your great run to a BCS bowl.

Say the MAC “dropped” to FCS. This wouldn’t effect basketball or other Olympic sports. The MAC could negotiate a new tv deal to get all their games back to Saturday’s and it immediately becomes the premier FCS conference. Geographically you’d build an immediate rivalry with the Missouri Valley Conference and get to see teams like NDSU, JMU and other premier OOC FCS opponents. Additionally the financial strain burden would likely decrease.

Is that less appealing than the current trajectory of the MAC?
