The ACC says they're not taking any more teams. But I do hope that Schaus calls the Big East commissioner. We need a way to turn this recent stretch of success into something that provides a long-term positive impact. The only way to move the needle of Ohio Athletics is to get out of the MAC. We're probably not at the top of their list or maybe even in the middle. But we resemble their membership now more than we did in the past.
Ted you almost sound like The Optimist in this post, but I totally agree. What has the MAC done for Ohio lately? The time is now to get gone and leave the others in the dust. At the very least it will be an immediate boost in revenue to help with facility upgrades.
I agree as well. While you may argue that we are not too good for the MAC, who cares? With the game of conference musical chairs at the pace it is currently, it seems to matter more what you have done in the last five years more than fifty. We would see an almost immediate impact across the board in our athletic department, ranging from fan turn out to the quality of our student athletes (merely speaking from a talent standpoint as we already have some outstanding human beings).
If we were able to receive an invitation I think our TV exposure would help its self pretty quickly. While Rutgers or UCF are not USC or Texas, they are EMU or 'kron either.
