I would have to think if ND did join the B1G (hypothetical) they would come with another team, probably from the south. Miami? Ga Tech?

From the article:Ummm what?
Sun Belt & Ohio Conference Realignment: Could The Bobcats Depart From The MAC?
Leaders at Ohio have reportedly contacted the Sun Belt about potential membership. Here's what that could mean for the Group of Five.
So I did a little bit of calculations.
Since 2019, they are averaging the following attendance for home games by day:
Saturday..........19,260 (21 games)
Tuesday...........13,090 (5 games)
Wednesday....16,486 (3 games)
Friday............... 11,804 (1 game)
So, maybe they have a point.
BUT!!! check out their average attendance for home games by month:
August............ 16,665 (1 game)
September..... 20,406 (10 games)
October........... 18,374 (10 games)
November...... 14,079 (9 games)
It appears that most or maybe ALL of the mid-week games are in November, and most or maybe ALL of the November games are mid-week. So the attendance goes down for the mid-week games, but it also goes down in November. They're probably right that it's due to the games being mid-week. But I think it also goes down because it's probably cold out.
And being cold is boof.
And watching Ohio U is boof.
Sitting at the stadium watching Ohio U be boof in the cold is like triple boof.

This was my first guess. And the TV revenue is probably so low as to not make any difference.
