Message: [QUOTE="AZHuskiePop, post: 4740144, member: 1609"] In 2024 we play as our big games . Maryland B1G Duke ACC Wake Forrest ACC Syracuse ACC Nice but hardly an opponent that gets xour heart rate up but all are potentially winnable as they are not typically strong teams . Plus the other side Army AAC ? Fla Atlantic AAC Buffalo MAC Temple AAC Ga Stete. Sun Belt UMass Indy UAB AAC Playing ab 8 game conference schedule against Navy ,Army? USF , Tulane , ECU , Charlotte with 4 OC .is any different if you’re beating those team The AAC we left was the best G5 football conference by any metics however its lost almost 1/2 it’s teams .so it’s a lot weaken now However A football only media deal is still worth $4,000,0000 plus FBP distribution. You still have buy games add to that the Big East money and the athletic Dept revenue from both sports is significant. If your Indy and can get m get 4-5 games a year against power conference teams and win a fair share that’s great but is that possible. it not then football needs to find a home in a conference How anyone can claim people didn’t come because we played in the AAC. is a complete rationalization , The truth is they didn’t want to see us humiliated by those teams as we were 11-45 in 6 seasons With double digit margins of defeat each year except 2015 . Fans turn out.to see the home team perform the opponents have only marginally appeal . Alabama , Ohio Dtate aren’t coming here so getting asses in seats is on us I suggest if we’re were 45 - 11 in those five years attendance would’ve close to doubled . The real number bear me out . In our one good year in the dreaded AAC , 2015 with a 4-4 record we averaged close to 28,000 a game . .. And it one could only imagine a 6-2 or 7-1 year ., Get over the excuses Attendance is. >90% how good the home team is < 10% the Opponent. Unless is a Big name The largest crowd we ever played in front of was over 100,000 people . If you pick a number between 1-1000 prople that’s the number that came because we were the opposition.
