None of these schools offer a compelling market (notwithstanding NIU location since they don't bring that market). So look beyond the surface, has anyone looked at Ark St lately? Their fan support equals or exceeds (in the case of WKU, MTSU) these schools & they have substantial growth potential. And what about ODU if market really matters?

Differ with your conclusion that "None of these schools offer a compelling market..." MT is in the 29th ranked TV Market in the Country! During our defeat of Michigan State and our second round game against Syracuse this spring; MT had TWO of the HIGHEST RANKED early round NCAA games in the Nashville TV Market. Those folks weren't tuning in to root for Syracuse or Michigan State. MT has more alums in Nashville than UT and Vanderbilt combined. When we play our "Away" game at Vandy on Sept 10, we will have more fans in the VU Stadium than will the Commodores. One last thing: against current AAC members, think you will find MT is one of three CUSA members with a WINNING RECORD in FB.

The issue with MTSU is that you need memphis outta the AAC before you have a shot at getting in. If that happens, then MTSU shoots up as a candidate quite high. But Memphis needs to go first or i can't imagine them being ok competing with MTSU for recruits... its the same story with Charlotte/ECU or App St/ECU or even Rice/Houston

VU & MT are 2 & 3 (or 3 & 2) in the Nashville market at a distance behind UTK. That's the problem & using BB examples won't help you. But you're right northern tier schools don't move the TV needle either when there's another option.

In that blind context, why not Slippery Rock? The correct context is football success, program support - butts in the seats and financial support, does the program bring a TV audience & does the program have growth potential (& lip service to academics to be PC). But they all count.

You cannot be trying to be the 6th power conference (eventually) and pay lip service to academics.

Can't refute Rocky Top Media Dominance or UT Fan Hysteria! Clearly, they have a giant Wal Mart Alumni base all over Tennessee. I never understood why MT or Memphis ever scheduled a start time (home game) when UT was playing. Bad Planning by our ADs, although it adversely affects our attendance more than it does the Tigers.

Interesting but there is a difference in Memphis area. The Tigers are #1 in their market with OM actually having a slight edge over UTK for 2nd & AR having some followers in 4th. Granted the Memphis region is just far enough away from the SEC schools & has a relatively large TV market to provide the environment for the University of Memphis to lead the Memphis market. Where MT is virtually in the midst of the Nashville market & on the east side.
