Should the Valley add Toledo?

[TOPSTRAIGHT]

Toledo NET Rating---82-- from 2021-2023. Average attendance 5,000. Good media market. Travel costs for MVC members would be about the same with Mo St. leaving.

I'm just a visitor here--but seems like an obvious decision.

Top 85 NET schools don't become available very often.

Toledo is not joining the MVC.

Where are they moving then? If they go to the MWC there's no way the MAC is letting them stay in everything else. The Horizon is a lateral move at best and they fit The Valley in about every way.

I say that because I would be totally shocked if they ended up in the Mountain West for football only.

Well--as of October 24 Thurs.--they are still talking to the MW...last sentence of tweet.

The invitation vote should take about 5 seconds.

Couldn't have come up with a better replacement in our wildest dreams.
