Ultimately, I am not sure it even matters who joins. Just a different seat in the same boat.

You have it a bit backwards. Western is the one that other members schools were pissed at, which is why if there is a grudge why they would even be considered. It's not like their attendance is good either. I believe Western may have made some promises they backed out of but don't know the full story.

Yes, MT was pissed but only at Benson not the rest of the league. We had good relations with the other member schools at the time. Benson made MT's life difficult. Benson removed all doubt that we would seek an exit.

Lightning' is right. WKU made some promises and then ran.

Why are we talking about this?

Everytime this jumps back up to the top of the list I laugh.

WKU just got spanked by Delaware. Just sayin’
