MWC getting blown up

I know I'll catch hell for this but I really don't care. If the MAC loses Toledo and NIU, we need to hook up with WKU and offer a package deal and wrangle a MAC invite. Just my opinion. Whale away at me......

We had that offer on the table 3 years ago and walked away..I don’t think we relished late night games in western Michigan in Nov and Dec. CUSA paid us some big bucks to stay and I think that helped with the buyout?

Out of curiosity, why would MT pursue MAC now (after losing their 2 of their current top programs) when MT turned down MAC a few years back?

UTEP is gone (or will be). And hopefully UNM / NMSU can let bygones be bygones & go MWC.

3-4 at our level just seems like a terrible idea in my opinion. We are gonna get ran all over with only 3 DL. I much prefer the typical 4-3 front for schools like MTSU

At this level (G5), if I liked odd fronts, I'd probably base out of 4-3 under. Present as 4-3 but function as 3-4 with one gap principles.

Nickel would be 4-2-5...may even create some sort of hybrid SS / LB guy to buzz.

I'm inclined to agree with this.

Derek Mason didn't forget defense overnight. Same for Stewart. Their system is definitely more pro-oriented and needs bigger guys to run effectively. The question for me is why they aren't adjusting.

I wondered that myself, play to utilize the strengths of the players you have. With all the injuries, maybe we are where we are.

I saw somewhere that supposedly Toledo & NIU reached out to the MWC. Football only of course and just drop other sports to MVC or something. Rationale being the MWC gets $3-4m for full time, say $1.5-2 for football only. Still more than the barely $800k they get now for all sports.

MAC/CUSA as one 22 team super league with north/south divisions?

Be interesting to see what the MWC deal is when it's renegotiated, I think I heard in '26.

It' will still be more than the MAC and CUSA though.

Maybe MT needs to temporarily revert to a Wide tackle six, We need a Ed Bunio type, I said only half jokingly.

Good point. Sounds like an excellent post game or mid week question.

With how the roster was previously constructed now down to just the nose tackles and former strongside defensive ends. Oof. This team just doesn't have the personnel for a 3-4 base AT ALL
