I've thought if Buffalo were to go the MAC could take another bite out of the Midwest somewhere like Illinois St.

Weaken "The Valley" even more.

Illinois State has the fanbase and fits the profile, but they don't have the money. Their football stadium only seats about 13,000. Where's the money going to come from to expand the stadium?

It's a school that produces great teachers and actuaries but few lawyers, doctors, engineers, or titans of industry. The state can't help due to its massive pension overload. And while the endowment is respectable by MAC standards, they need revenue from the endowment to operate the university.
