Makes about as much sense as when NIU joined MW. I mean, look at this stunning scenery outside Dekalb
I don’t know
It’s very expensive to move up from FCS to FBS . I would counter that yoh will probably see quite a few teams going down from FBS to FCS

NIU to the MW is just for football. They're going to be in the Horizon League for everything else.
Sacramento State is still working to move up:
Apparently the MAC (yes, you're reading that right) is exploring the possibility if they accept Sacramento State's proposal.
Everyone say thank you, Larry Gies.
that is a sad decision. no reason to remove the name Memorial. there are other answers there

It's different when it's a corporate sponsor. Nobody wants H&R Block Memorial Stadium.
there are other ways to get your corporate name on the building & the field to justify the marketing costs instead of removing MEMORIAL

Remodeled Pac-12 introduces flex scheduling for final week of 2026 college football season
With eight teams in the conference, the Pac-12 is reserving the right to adjust rematches if necessary for each team's final conference game.
I like this and have thought the B1G should consider the same at some point. Especially if the "system" ever goes to play in games.

Rather ironic, coming from someone using this site to hawk T-shirts.
I don't know Mr. Gies, so I can't speak for his true motivation. But officially the stadium was re-named in honor of his father, who did serve (and has passed) and therefore the Memorial name still at least indirectly fits.
But even without that, yes I think there is a difference between a corporate and a personal sponsor. Maybe the money still eventually traces back to some business somewhere, but I can easily feel that corporate branding principles would not want anything associated with war or death alongside their name.
yup
