Spoke with a sports beat writer friend of mine, he told me that his sources said that these two conferences are looking for a school from Illinois to join. An invitation was supposedly was given to Illinois State and apparently they declined. Both conferences wanted Illinois State but they're willing to wait for Chicago State to get the program up and running and pushing for the Cougars to play home games at Soldiers Field. (Like USF does at the Tampa Bay Bucs home field)
With 5 MVFC schools negotiating with FBS conferences, it seemed a logical choice for Illinois State to accept the invitation which wouldn't take effect for two more years. With that being said, I hope either or both conferences come knocking on ISU's door again in the near future.
