When was that?? Viewing and attendance at CFB across entire country has changed dramatically in recent years, we are not going back to the crowds of the past, regardless of stadium, players, coaches, team success, even the top CFB teams are seeing fewer crowds.
Don't have time to check all the top teams right now did but looked at UM. It's pretty stable at around 111,000 average for the past few years with fluctuations of about 500-600 in either directions, depending on the location of the OSU game.
The very top teams sell out every game so they aren't a good measure. Take the middle P5 teams... Teams who haven't deviated too much from great success or bottom dwellingness. The Maryland's, Nc States, Miami's, Louisville's etc are down compared to just 10 years ago. Let alone 20 years ago.
We do alright in attendance and would do even better with Saturday games guaranteed... But getting 30k per night won't happen unless we put together a dynasty of Championships...
With the extra 500-1000 fans per game on Saturday we would lose the 100,000+ for MACtion TV. And we could even lose recruits without the TV factor... Take your picking.

Most people under 50 that I talk to don't watch "TV"
but use streaming services. ESPN3 is available on
HULU, etc.
Would that make them young streaming farts? Asking for a friend.
