Not a good sign for the MAC if Miami is willing to spend that kind of money to leave

The story said UConn only wants to join for football. They're staying in the Big East for basketball et al.

In other words, no thanks.

UConn should probably just move to FCS for football like so many of the other Big East schools.

It's going to be hilarious watching JMU get the "thanks but no thanks".

Chip Kelly was right when he said let football do their own thing with conference affiliation and let the other sports stick to a regional league

Chip Kelly can eat arse, we want regional rivalries in football to mean something.

That would be nice but it doesn't look like that's coming back

People shite on Northern Illinois, but that's what they did. Football in the United or WAC or whatever, other sports in the Horizon League I think.

I also would like to see regional football rivalries come back. But more important to the survival of all sports is making them more affordable with more regional travel.

They should have gone after JMU the last time around.

I hope Miami leaves. In fact, if someone napalmed Oxford, Ohio it would be a good thing.
