The article doesn't discuss Ohio possibly graduation from the MAC, but just highlights all the success that their program is having. They wouldn't add any good markets, but what if they compete at Boise State's level the next few years?

Stadium is too small, little to no media coverage outside of Michigan-Ohio area, no history of success in football, if they were added it'd need to be for all sports and they'd help the Bball cause.

they add nothing, they are midwestern, no prestige....i dont get it.

This would be good to bring up in 2020 provided Ohio spends the next decade winning 11 games per season and building a legitimate football brand to offset their many negatives. Failing that they're fine right where they are in the MAC.

Ohio has a pretty good basketball team too.

Good thing the BE didn't hold us to standards like that with regards to winning games!

They are also building a 12.5 million dollar indoor facility.

Fortunately we have a market, the programs in the middle of nowhere need to do more to move up.
