If need be drop down to FCS along with the rest of the MAC, build a strong conference, you can still attract out of conference games, Rockets football continues just under a different model.

If Toledo ever did drop down divisions, than you would NEVER see "name" schools in the Glass Bowl ever again...……… They don't go to FCS or below stadiums...…
To be honest many MAC schools need to drop down. Which actually would be great for Toledo. But Toledo is not one of them.
Old proverb, "you are who you associate with" and Toledo needs to associate with some new folks ……..(have needed to for years)……..

And who is going to send them an invite? Because that's necessary in order to associate with some other programs and it hasn't happened yet when the prime candidate has needed to add a 12th. Truth be told, UT is not wanted by anyone else, and in order to make themselves more attractive they'd have to double their athletics expenses in a time when, truly, they should be halved.
