The MVC schools have a good basketball fan base. They don't improve the league in football success, football fan support, or football budget. That's what the MAC cares about. They are basketball-first schools who are in a league better suited for their goals.

The only FCS I would consider is Villanova. Adjacent state for the footprint and large Philly market.

Considering UConn is a slice of the NYC market both Villanova and Uconn are the best additions.

I would do it for AAC money and a scheduling agreement in Olympic sports.

I am sure Villanova and UConn are dying to get into the MAC. The MAC is a low tier FBS conference, probably the lowest ranked, the only way they are going to add members is to take FCS schools like UNI, ISU, Stony Brook etc.
