I was just curious to see if the MAC was trying to keep its geographical footprint intact.

Depending the vantage point of the MAC school making a selection there is a wide variety of support for different candidates.

Ideally, the MAC would like to expand its footprint to nearby schools that can be within easy bus distance to save on travel costs. All the potential additions however only are within driving distance of a few schools.

Northern Illinois (Northern Iowa, Illinois State)
Miami (Western Ky, Middle Tennessee)
Ohio (Appalachian State, James Madison)
Buffalo (Albany, Stony Brook)

Out of all those different directions to strike out in the MAC is probably best served with Appalachian State and James Madison. They already draw 25,000 and have competed at the very top levels of FCS. The facilities are in place for a MAC upgrade today.

Old Dominion and Charlotte are more in the CUSA mold market wise and I don't think the MAC will want to go that direction.
