That is spin. Worrying about the exit fee is short term. Long term which conference offers more stability? Which offers more money? They are choosing to stay in the worst conference. If there is another expansion then it trickles down to CUSA losing members. Then what?

CUSA leadership wanting to elevate athletics is like the AAC saying they are a P6 conference. It is cute but it not happening.

Are kids from neighboring states not going to choose to play there because their road games are in the Midwest? Are those kids from the Southeast really going to prefer playing in Texas over Ohio? They don't mind being in the worse athletic conference? CUSA doesn't have teams in NC, SC, MS, AR, and is down to 1 team in FL. For a kid from VA the MAC is closer than most CUSA schools.

Look at the travel costs. NMSU, UTEP, SHSU, FIU are really far away. LA Tech, Liberty are far away. Jacksonville State is the only school closer than the six Ohio MAC schools. Plus NIU, Ball State are close enough too. The three Michigan schools and Buffalo are hikes.

Edit

if I am the MAC I accept WKU and then ask MTSU again. If they say no still, then go grab a nearby FCS school.
