They will use you to become FBS and then split in 2 years. Why not add. Missouri State who actually wants to be there? You'll be talking to them in 2 years anyway once JMU leaves.

Bottom line is MAC fans should be upset at how stupid the MAC office is. Temple and UMass was given an opportunity to take full advantage of the MAC by terrible incompetant MAC decisions and they took it. Both should have been offered only full sports invitations to begin with (like CUSA did with Charlotte and made them leave A10 and commit). Had we did that, Temple and UMass would have maybe said no, BUT then Temple would have dropped football all together and UMass would still be FCS. Now they are both competition to the MAC and that region. Further, I wouldn't be surprised if one or both are in talks to form their own conference in the NE and mid-atlantic and pull Buffalo along with them.

Truly stupid MAC leadership and the MAC deserves any fallout in the next years because of it. MAC is their own worst enemy. Complete fools.

Sun Belt headed down the same path now.
