A new and better FBS thread

I do understand the frustration of not knowing what is happening. I certainly have little to no idea what will occur.

The Pac is looking to add and reportedly want to raid the AAC, taking as many as 4 members.

They have also spoken to Texas State

It is possible the MW is looking to raid the MAC

If the MAC loses members they may look to add from CUSA

So extrapolating.

In the next few months, the AAC, the Belt, the MAC and CUSA may well be looking to add along with the Pac and the MW.

Opportunities could be in the offing.

The Pac 12 implosion could well reverberate all over the country. The realignment merry go round keeps spinning.

Nobody knows when it will stop.

I don't either for MW. For MAC that could be a factor perhaps. MAC may try to poach a CUSA school or two, but doesn't really have a lot of other good options to look at.

Some MW podcasters who seem to have "sources" are prognosticating that it will come down to whether or not NIU or Toledo accept MW offer. The speculation is if they say yes, MW stops for now, but if they both say "no", then plan B is the Dakotas+Montanas gang of 4.

Supposedly insiders think they will land at least one of them, but it isn't done yet. If they go, the MW door might be closed, but potentially the MAC door opens.

I don’t think it’s a factor for any FBS conference. It is positive for our chances of getting an invite.

I think we will know about Toledo and NIU one way or the other next week.

Playing bridesmaid to those two teams pisses me off. Makes as much sense as choosing balogna over Ribeye.
