Why don't the fan bases of those schools make their views known to the administrators/Presidents?

Why are some MIAA schools fighting so hard to keep silo scheduling?

Because no one from these other conferences will play the top tier teams in the MIAA. Northwest, Central, Hays and Pitt will have trouble scheduling D2 programs unless they pay them. I think the only way they could get it done is if they worked a deal with a conference like the LSC to ensure all teams in the MIAA were guaranteed a game. I think it could be done because there are a lot of those other conferences that need games. And the MIAA is more centrally located than some of the teams they are playing. Example. Midwestern State went to Western Oregon.

It would be better than nothing, but would just basically create an expanded silo.
Yeah, you're right. So what would your ideal scenario be? 8 Conference games, and the school has the freedom to schedule whichever 3 other games they want?

A compromise might be if one of those was a conference agreement deal. Maybe 1 game per team against the GAC and 1 game at large or something similar?

Anyone defending silo is doing so because, despite what Western's AD says, the MIAA hasn't been close to only having one team make the playoffs. In fact, in the 6 years of complete silo scheduling, the MIAA has never had a team that lost 2 games or less fail to make the playoffs. In 2016, CentralMO got in at 9-2 as the 3rd MIAA team. That probably wouldn't get a team in under the current regional configuration (Henderson this year) but most aren't going to feel sorry for a 3rd place team that doesn't get in.

In every other super region, a conference has had at least three participants in the playoffs except one once.
