Absolutely delusional.  My concern is we're closing to being in the NEC for football.  I can see it now.  YSU in the NEC western division with Mercyhurst, Robert Morris, Duquesne and St Francis.

Some of you are extremely delusional. I have a better chance of winning the Powerball TWICE than we do going to the MAC. It ain’t gonna happen. The amount of money required alone to enter the MAC makes it infeasible.

Mercyhurst was added as a home game instead of Butler.  Also have to play at Towson and they come here in 2028.

The basketball heavy conferences will also have challenges moving forward.  What if the MAC invites Southern Illinois, Illinois State and UNi or all 3? We are toast if something like that happens.  And don't think it can't or won't happen.  The AD and administration better not bury their heads in the sand.  Who saw USC and UCLA to the BIG10?

This is why we need to accept the offer if it is presented.

Its gonna be more about survival then anything.  The Dakota teams will ALL leave when the opportunity presents itself.  A one league for all is the only way we may survive!

Going to the MAC would make us a little less irrelevant than we are now. As low as the MAC is in FBS it is still more relevant than FCS. The only game of the year FCS gets noticed is the money games. IAA championship on CBS made it seem relevant. FCS championship on ESPN2 opposite NFL playoffs not so relevant.

MAC gets a lot of nationally televised week night games during the season. Nobody thinks the MAC is relevant in terms of competing with big time FBS conferences but i would rather that irrelevancy that comes with some local rivalries and some national exposure then the nothingness that is the FCS.
