There aren't enough schools in the midwest/mountain west with an athletic budget large enough to support a move to FBS. The ones that could do very well financially in a move up are JMU ($47 million plus) and Delaware ($34 million plus) and no one has invited them.
The top midwestern FCS football schools come in ranked 121 and lower budget-wise.. Plus, I don't see the NCAA granting a waiver allowing for a new FBS conference comprised of FCS teams. Just isn't going to happen.
The most logical expansion for MWC is just add Gonzaga and not worry about adding anyone else.
