Feel being on campus is great for the game day experience. That said, while most may not care for MAC teams, there are some that I like as Toledo, Ohio, and Buffalo. In basketball you have 3 seasons, within the season: OOC, conference and post season. Imagine you took the post season possibilities out of basketball. Do you really think it would not hurt recruiting. Think having the conference championship and bowl games are worthy goals and the ease of scheduling 4 ooc games with a P5 or two game and local FCS and G5 game plus a MAC schedule would be fine. My thought is stay FBS and be open to a affiliation that's good for the program and post season play. [/QUOTE]
