Sure it has. Your team's lack of wins within the current conference schedule has been detrimental to receiving a PO bid. Going outside the conference would provide the ability to find easier opponents in which to accumulate wins and hopefully avoid the better teams in the conference resulting in fewer losses.

It won't be the wrong side until NW is hurt by no noncons. This year was the closest call but NW responded in epic fashion to make the regional selection committee look incompetent for what they intended to do. That should be taken into consideration in future seasons.

You're on the "right" side in this because your school is hunting wins they haven't been able to get within the conference.

Oh and our teams lack of success these last few years has been more because we had to keep around “Pitt State people”. A philosophy that if your program isn’t careful might bite you guys in the rump as well

That SEC of D2 nonsense is only said in MIAA land. 4 different SEC teams have won 10 of the last 14 national championships. The MIAA has only had 2 teams that were ever a contender for a national championship.

Yea because being able to schedule winnable ooc games weren’t helpful in the early 90’s when your program began its rise to the top. It helps everyone out. The lesser teams get a chance to find a winnable game to help get some momentum for their program. The top teams get either a gimmies game to help get their kinks ironed out and help develop younger kids with playing time, or they get to test their metal against another top tier team. Also the fans get the opportunity to not go to the same old away teams stadium they’ve been to what seems like 100 times before. And it helps expand the popularity of the MIAA as fans get to see teams in what was not that long ago regarded as the SEC of D2 football. It must been nice sitting in your green and white ivory tower and forgetting what is was like for you before Mel T came and saved your programs CMU mascot

Also, both conferences have the wrong number of schools.

If it's said at all (outside of MIAA land), it's more than I would think. I could see comparing Northwest to Alabama and Pitt to maybe Auburn or Florida (haven't won in while) but the rest of the conference comes up short of the SEC.

Looking over the last 14 years (since that was the point of reference for the SEC), the MIAA has five championships (NW 4, Pitt 1), the GSC has four (Valdosta State 3, W Florida 1), the NSIC 2 (both by Duluth) and the Lone Star, RMAC and GLIAC each have one.
Another way to look at it is players put in the NFL, since that's another of the SEC's claim to fame. I pulled some numbers from Pro Football Reference, and I believe current MIAA schools have had 136 players on active NFL rosters (an average of about 11 per team), current GSC players have had 60 (an average of about 7 per team). That's skewed by recent changes in conference membership, I'm sure. I didn't take the time to look at any other conferences - I know the Lone Star would have a bunch (Kingsville and West Texas both have more than 50).
