It's makes geographic sense and upgrades basketball. Gives NIU and Ball State in State rivals.

For other reasons as well. I had heard that both CUSA and Sun Belt had offered Liberty membership when it made the move and that Liberty had turned them down. But an article I found says that Liberty offered to pay CUSA $24 million to get league membership and the CUSA presidents turned them down flat. Didn't want a conservative, private evangelical school with a sometimes controversial chancellor (who is now gone) in their midst. Still, they apparently were willing to accept the school's cash for games. ODU reportedly was paid $1.3 million for a game at Liberty (a two-hour drive) and T'erd and SMiss reportedly got $500.000 each for a home-and-home series. Now that the remnants of CUSA are in desperation mode, maybe they'll overlook some of Liberty's baggage. https://www.pilotonline.com/sports/columns/article_4aef1f... We will get by. We will get by.

The MAC is irrelevant for schools looking for a home. Having said that, Id be happy for WKU and Middle to come on board.

I would hope that gets the MAC closer to a 2 bid league for the NCAA tournament, but we shall see.

Maybe that would prompt EKU and JMU to make the jump to FBS D-1 in football and join as well. Not as easy as it sounds though... they would need to come up with around 15 more schollie for football (?) and add a women's sport with about 15 schollies (?) to stay compliant. If that is still how it works.

Guess we can cross them off the list.

Guess we can cross them off the list. He could always look to the region a few hundred miles to their east. Probably be about as successful. I don’t see that happening…at least if he wants to stay FBS.

Apparently, the MAC decided they didn't want them -- even with all sports.
