Several points:

- I hate to say "never" but from what I've read online, it appears Western will never get into the MVC like they dream about. They're going to be in the Mid Con for a while.

- If the Great West can get an established I-AA team to join the conference in 2008, it can be considered for an autobid in 2010.

- The Great West is the 2nd strong GPI conference in the nation. They deserve an autobid over the MEAC and the OVC.

- The I-AA playoffs could be expanded to 24 with 12 autobids (the 8 current plus one each for: GWFC, Big South, Ivy League, and SWAC).
