… unless the MAC loses too many schools back to I-AA due to stricter attendence minimums (average 15K people in the stands, not tickets sold) that start August 2004.

If the standards at went into effect last year Ball State, Akron, Buffalo, Eastern Michigan, and Kent State would have had to leave the MAC and return to I-AA; C-USA would have lost Houston, Mountain West would have lost Wyoming, WAC would have lost San Jose State, and Sun Belt would have lost Arkansas State, Middle Tennessee State, Idaho, Louisiana-Monroe, and future member Troy State.

Then again, the MAC could lose those five and still have 9, one over the minimum for a recognized conference. Mountain West would have to add someone, and the Sun Belt would be roadkill.
