This is effectively the opposite of what Missouri State is contemplating (where they would have to downgrade their basketball/non-football conference if they want to upgrade football to FBS).

It would only be a downgrade for Missouri State in M basketball but they haven't made the tourney since the 1990's. It a net even or slight bump on women's basketball and a monumental leap up in Baseball, Softball, and Football. As a whole, they would be in a much better and more stable athletic conference.

This isn’t true.

MVC WBB was 13th, 10th, & 7th in NET the past 3 years.

SBC WBB was 18th, 20th, & 21st in NET the past 3 years.
