Sorry to say but a nice post GO, sorry because it is too true. I have not hidden my distain for the mac, ever since they passed over us for membership. But my distain aside I really am surprised that they have been able to survive this long, it seems that they had YSU figured out better than we would have guessed.
The FCS is getting more irrelevant every year and NIL will only expedite the decline. Being a low end 1A school is better than being a 1AA school. Program wise we were in such a great position to move up but our leadership could or would not take advantage of the moment. So frustrating to see all the schools that made the move up to 1A and that includes some old D2 schools.
I hate being in a league with no natural rivels, do not care how good the league is. Our AD has done a pretty good job in several areas, but football is not one of them, kind of ironic.
