Wrong.... The 1 mil+ viewers attracts recruits and furthers your program. Winning them and showing high school kids your trophy case matters. For a Toledo fan, being snubbed from the MACC but continually being competitive in bowl games has kept us a winning team in years after.

I remember when the fans could purchase rings when NIU won the MACC and got to the Orange Bowl. That ended when Compher left.

I like how Toledo’s signs are honest in that they know the only reason you’d ever live in Toledo is because you’ve hit rock bottom and have no where else to go.

I thought it was Campbell. Either way I found it comical. I hope they don't waste money on that.
