RE: Akron cutting colleges...NIU reaction and what about us?
It might not be, but the big problem is that if NIU drops to FCS without the whole MAC, we get a repeat of the fiasco in other sports that occurred when football went independent back in the 1980s. It took bball years to recover, and has it ever really? If football goes FCS without the MAC, where do the other sports go?
And what conference does NIU football join to guarantee games? As an independent, NIU struggled to fill each year's schedule. Then it joined the Big West to "solve" that problem, another fiasco. Then back to independence and finally back to the MAC. I cannot see football existing as an FCS independent. Was a battle as a D1A independent.
