And we talk about our attendance for home games....

Ball State had 6,873 on hand in Muncie for their game on Friday.

Dont they have to average so much to keep the 1 A status?

There is a loophole in the NCAA attendance rules....

if something like 3/4 of the teams in the MAC meet the NCAA standards for attendance, then the entire league does. They used to buy each other's tickets to help meet the NCAA standards.

That's interesting. Wow. They should just go FCS if they have to do that.

Been saying that for years. My hope, is that they do!

have any teams dropped a division? it seems like the trend is to commit to FBS or drop football (for schools that are moving)

What does it matter if they drop to the FCS? It doesn't do us any good.

It may allow us to renew the rivalry.

I'd rather renew the rivalry with Eastern Illinois, but I think you're right, I think that's the main reason people want it to happen. I just don't care about Ball State as much as many others do.

I agree about playing eiu again. I took a lot of crap while our old administration was in charge of things and now that we are playing with a prez and AD that care id like to see this start up again.
