I'm struggling to understand why this matters, whether they do or not (to be independent). Clearly JC doesn't care about winning a conference title.... this is just a big nothing burger to me. I doubt JC liked how Madison had to go to KY to find teams.
They've already agreed to schedule new opponents, it's just not processed this year/East, Floyd, Jeff apparently haven't been able to find dancing partners yet.
cmon.. we can still use more logic than that. That would be a tie. (based on how conferences rules dictate winners).... But, these conferences, at least the MSC, don't go with HTH tiebreakers.... they just go with two champions, which is preposterous.
Who would have won the FC/Seymour matchup should be the conference winner at that point, with your example.... and I still don't see the issue.
Sidenote-- I feel like Floyd, other than looking at KY teams, will have to go to Indy to find a game.... All Evansville teams are locked in their schedules, unless Vinncennes is able to get away soon, there are no other schools of their size around... so Indy or maybe you get lucky with one of the Bloomington schools/Columbus North...
