I don't see anyone leaving really, but the two you mention have questions for sure. Indy State has had a pretty rough run the last 10-15 years. YSU would more logically fit in the MAC if they chose to do that. WIU and InSU could go OVC I spose. WIU could get in with the Missouri/Kansas DII conference if they went down.Welcome to Murray State to the MVFC. Have to wonder if WIU and Youngstown State leave. With 12 teams if you do a division split idk how you can make that fair or work for all 12 parties.
Welcome again to Murray State.

Give disparity of West vs East division with 12 teams, dropping to 10 teams is fine by me ... maximum 1 game disparity in schedulling is way better than 4 game disparity potential. It happens in Big Sky all the time .. someone goes 6-2, but didn't play 3 of the top 4 or something like that,Welcome to Murray State to the MVFC. Have to wonder if WIU and Youngstown State leave.

Welcome again to Murray State.
they may be waiting for dust to settle some with couple changes still rumoured.I thought the whole reason we went to 12 teams was for two divisions.
MVFC could go to 12 teams, two divisions

Some interesting discussions on FCS football alignment including Missouri State and the Sun Belt. Also a brief discussion that NDSU was not in favor or Murray joining the MVFC.
I don't feel bad for them. Any other conference they could easily go would require more travel than Murray State. Youngstown State has to deal with this when traveling to NDSU.The over 1,000 miles between Fargo, ND & Murray, Kentucky and the closest airport I’m guessing is Paducah, Kentucky probably bothers NDSU a little.
Does Fargo have an airport ?I don't feel bad for them. Any other conference they could easily go would require more travel than Murray State. Youngstown State has to deal with this when traveling to NDSU.
Yes, they do. Hector International Airport.Does Fargo have an airport ?
I knew they did, which that is the difference in NDSU traveling to Murray & YSU traveling to Fargo.Yes, they do. Hector International Airport.
It's the busiest airport in North Dakota.
Murray, KY has a runway big enough to land a 737-100. They would probably be flying charter which is smaller and wouldn't even play them every year let alone play at Murray every year.I knew they did, which that is the difference in NDSU traveling to Murray & YSU traveling to Fargo.
