This seems like a massive mistake to me. The MWC pays more but it's not a massive difference especially since it messes up all your other sports unless the MAC is desperate enough to let them stay in those.

Horizon league is a better fit for other sports. They can not compete in the MAC as in most sports outside of Football and Wrestling.

There has been some talk about them moving to the MVC for non-football.

While my graduate degree is from there, I do not attend games for any of the three Illinois schools that I went to. I am a Notre Dame fan.

You should support a winning team.

It seems like a lateral move, but it's not as if they are turning their backs on some sort of longstanding rivalry by leaving the MAC. They might as well take the money.

Mountains in DeKalb. Docks at Millennium Park. What other geographical anomalies have I missed?

I cannot, for the life of me, figure out why their basketball program has to suck so bad. I just don't get it.

same with Chicago State

there's enough talent that slips through the cracks in this city that you should be able to recruit a team that plays well on the low D 1 level

Look at UConn's dominance in men's and women's basketball but sucking absolute ass in football.

football is 53 players. Basketball is a lot less. I don't get it.
