Point well-taken, but that's a cool graphic.

I believe that much of the problem with the MAC can be viewed with the picture above.

9 of the 13 schools are either in Michigan or Ohio. One state has 2 very popular Big Ten teams and the other has arguably the most rabid fan base in the United States.

It will be 9 out of 12 after next season. The B10 shadow effect will be especially true the next few seasons with Urban vs Harbaugh. Both states will be Walmart MU and OSU band wagoners. The MAC geography really puts a ceiling on the tv money in this league.

With the new hype for MU, EMU football may really struggle to get attention outside the die hards the next few seasons unless they score a big upset in OOC.

My guess it is the background picture of SB Nation/Hustle Belt. That is who we have covering NIU hoops, not good.

Sorry if I'm the only one who doesn't get this.....
This thread starts with Memphis / Cincinnati going to the Big 12, it takes various twists and turns, there's a discussion of the BYU and Memphis game/fight, and then there are comparisons between the bowls and opponents for C-USA and AAC schools.
--Then you post a graphic representation of the MAC by state.
--Then you state nine of 13 schools are either in Michigan or Ohio,
so what point does that make relative to the bowl games, C-USA, AAC, the MAC, NIU?

Yes it is. I happen to be the one who created it. All the NIU coverage at Hustlebelt is by NIU alums. Trust me, there's no anti-NIU sentiment there. Just as a large portion of posts here are negative, yours especially, the bloggers there are also fans who get upset when the Huskies do less than they can.

Ok I didn't realize that, Those that write about NIU at Hustle Belt that are not affiliated with NIU need to get over it. They resent NIU for talking about moving conferences some day which is absolutely foolish. I don't know what their issue is.

MD believes the entire world is out to get NIU. Don't take it personally.
