The Huron and Michigan Normal logos are inside the uniform, covered by a flap, behind a zipper and two buttons. The only way they can be seen if if a band member opens their jacket.
A lot of the news headlines were pretty misleading, and apparently some people thought the university had changed the mascot back!
Staying in the MAC, and retaining long-standing rivalries such as Central Michigan, Western Michigan, and Toledo, is part of it.
Part of it is what would happen if EMU dropped football (or dropped football to a lower level). Dropping football to FCS to stay in Division I for the sake of other sports would result in significantly increased travel for all sports; there's no conference that really would be a good geographic fit. The options would be to drop football altogether and go to the Horizon League, or dropping to Division II and going to the Great Lakes Intercollegiate Athletic Conference. The NCAA doesn't allow a school to "play down" in one or two sports, so moving football to Division II would necessitate dropping all sports to Division II.
Latarrius Thomas started the first two games of 2010 before suffering a season-ending injury. He almost certainly would have been one of the top defenders had he been able to play more. The NCAA granted his medical hardship waiver, so he'll be back this fall for his sixth year (he transferred from Louisville to follow English, and sat out 2009).

"The worst one was where they got on the 1 yard line with a first down and they had to settle for the field goal."
This was definitely a recurrent theme in EMU's losses.

Why, just this spring, EMU beat the Wolverines in women's basketball and went 2-1 in baseball.
"By the way, tuition went up 3.8% last year at EMU."
Not true. Tuition, fees, room, and board went up exactly 0% last year at EMU.
