Here's what I'm hearing about NIU, the MWC, and Mid-Major Realignment--Extra Points
So what’s going on with Northern Illinois?
I’m told that the Summit, Ohio Valley and Horizon all expressed a
willingness to accept NIU as a conference member, with potentially other
leagues as well, but the industry expectation that I heard was that NIU
would eventually join the Horizon.
Why? And what does this mean for everybody else?
A big part of this, I’m told, is about money.
I mean, aren’t most realignment decisions about money?
The current MAC TV deal, of course, moves many late season conference
games to Tuesday and Wednesday nights. That’s awesome for securing
linear TV time slots, but terrible for attendance and in-game
atmosphere.
But beyond potential increases in TV revenue or conference
distributions, there’s also a belief that moving out of the MAC might
save money elsewhere. Like, the MAC, the Horizon League is still
mostly a bus league for NIU, but with smaller operating budgets, the
Huskies may be able to cut costs from other sports to bring their
spending closer to their new peers, and potentially improve their postseason chances.
