Add in the bloated travel costs to Fargo, not a solution.

Respectfully, your comment exemplifies the lack of vision I'm talking about. Nothing is going to immediately fix the attendance at Miami if they have 4,000 people at a game. But I'm talking about making the MAC a better conference by adding teams who give a $hit. You know, teams with actual fans. Having teams with a fan base, which then intensifies rilvaries, makes it more interesting for casual fans and more likely that outsiders will pay attention to the conference. But you're counting the nickels and dimes of travel. Meanwhile, Miami is buying 10,000 tickets a game. But hey, at least they can bus their team to another empty stadium in Ypsilanti.

Nonsense no one in the Mac is going to be excited about playing North Dakota State on a Wednesday night and no fans are going to travel

Miami has been historically strong, but they have been awful for most of the last 10 years. The MAC is also playing weeknight games.

Would say too may. And all of the MAC games in November are week nights, no Saturdays.

They should limit it to one home game per team.

With nothing on Saturdays in November, they never get mentioned on the Saturday broadcasts. That is a HUGE strategic error for them.
