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.

Texas too since the SEC is a shadow of its former self.

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.

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.

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.

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.
