Is Western Kentucky Bailing?

[UNTflyer]

There is a real possibility of the MAC moving to 14 teams in the very near future. According to college basketball insider Andy Katz of ESPN, the MAC is in discussions to bring in Western Kentucky and Temple for all sports. For one thing, this would create a huge conference, one of the biggest in basketball and the biggest in football. This would definitely be nice for football, as having a 13 team conference makes divisions and scheduling a huge problem. Both Western Kentucky and Temple are getting stronger in football, and are both pretty good in basketball already. This would seem to be a winning situation for the MAC.

How so? How can Western Kentucky be getting stronger in football when they only complete year one of their transition period? They'll be in for a rude awakening when they play a full FBS schedule.
