MAC Report Online Says MAC Not Expanding because Rick Chryst says so

A while ago we joined in on the Internet feeding frenzy (really?) about an ESPN report that the MAC might expand.

Anyway, the MAC Report Online jumped on the story and called Rick Chryst who said it wasn't true. And MAC Report Online, acting to protect its "most favored blogger" status acted as the MAC's stenographer and dutifully re-published the thoughts unexamined.

Chryst has this ability to say things that strain credibility. Among them is that conference expansion wasn't even discussed at the MAC Spring meetings. Come on? The Temple and Western Kentucky things might not be very far along, but the idea expansion was never discussed is hard to buy.
