F. No.
1) Our current schedule is better
2) We don't play mid week
3) Anyone arguing our football fanbase will be jazzed up by playing directional midwestern schools (and Buffalo) needs their head examined.
As a Season ticket holders, this would be the end for me.
I replied to you on the CUSA thread, so I'll copy/paste it here...
Yeah, the MAC sukks. But newsflash, our football sukks too!!
1) Schedule is better: Better for what? We are barely competitive against G5 teams. Having a Maryland or Duke on our schedule is good why? It looks better on paper? We are getting our doors blown off against those teams and Mora has come right out and said we can't compete with them due to $$. "Dark days ahead..."
2) Mid week games: Like the attendance at the Rent would go from 12K to 8K or 7K? OK. Would that matter? Nobody goes anyway. Somebody said it in another thread, for those of us who actually go to games, I am enjoying competitive games against G5 schools vs going in there knowing we have no chance against a team like Duke. I would show up on a Wednesday night for game that might decide going to a conference championship.
We are terrible in football and independence it making it worse. Our brand is basketball. That's why we left the AAC for the Big East. But the collateral damage was to football (yeah our hires were bad, etc. but it is where we are now).
We need to have something to play for and a way to truly rebuild. We are not getting into a P4 conference. We know that. We are not getting a football only invite to the AAC and probably not from Sunbelt or MWC. So what difference does it make if only football plays in the MAC?
