Eh, people have been saying EMU is going to be kicked out of the MAC or cut football/athletics for decades now (even by fellow MAC fans). Nothing new here. Instructors/professors protest athletics at almost every college, it seems, outside of the really big names.

I think if we were to kick a team out of the MAC (which we won't), we'd invite an Illinois or Indiana school like Indiana St or Illinois St.

Largely different student populations (meaning the kind of students they get)

Alternatively, merge EMU with Wayne State. Expand Adams Field from 6,000 to 16,000, and move bigger games to Ford Field.

I agree. Quite a few Detroit-area schools they could've merged with.
