Why does the MAC have to expand out of the Great Lakes?

What the MAC needs is to step up to an MWC type TV deal and get out of the Midweek games.

Exactly! Why can't an Eastern/Central conference with schools overshadowed by multiple P5s just go and get the same kind of deal as a conference with flagship and only-game-in-town schools that play in the Mountain and Pacific where college football content is much scarcer?

This flagship stuff doesn't matter. If it did the Big Sky and Summit conferences would have much better TV deals. They are flagships of rural states.

The MAC has endowments that are comparable to the MWC and both are overflow for their respective P5 conferences (B1G and PAC) in their distinct regions.

They play each other in 2 bowl games. TV deals are all about football. MAC upgraded its bowls for 2020-2025 so why can't the TV deal be next?
