WKU has wanted out of CUSA for a long time even moreso with all of the FCS moveups.
Not sure that the MAC would constitute an upgrade.
Thatβs long been regarded as the nationβs WORST I-FBS football conference.
Over modern CUSA, I feel like there is not only a stability and regionalism upgrade but also outside fans seem to like MAC more than CUSA
MACtion + MASSction
I can tell you this much.
CMU has the MACβs biggest football stadiumβ¦and it only seats 30,255.
Didnβt they ban tailgating?
Where?
Ummm⦠Whuuut!?
Not quite illegal but close enough
Uh no.
They have a lot of tailgate rules, but tailgating still occurs. Itβs not illegal.
Time for some MAC-tion!!
Those arenβt much worse than our rules.
Love CUSA weekdays in October w 'Stros regular season done. Awesome stadium settings.
November weekday MACtion w UH/college hoop starting harder to fit.
UMass fits the MAC AD business plan.
Ancient WPA style FB stadiums w no debt & minimal $ upkeep.
Hoop facilities also concert/graduation, etc facilities & upkeep out of university general fund.
A few FB buy games pays for entire AD for MACtion.
Exception Akron.
AD pays $2.2 million of annual $4.3 million cost of stadium.
At Ohio State, at Rutgers, at South Carolina is 2024 to pay the bill.
Horrible move to leave MAC business model without a conference change.
No reflection on Mac Rhoades. He did what it took to get that stadium done.
Akron with between @5k and @8k home crowds in 23.
Some mention of VCU to AAC next for A10.
