The fan bases are tiny because the MACTION kills the fan bases, we only have two Saturday home games this season, the rest are MACTION or away games, absolutely terrible.

meh its not any different for AAC teams.

Toledo last year had 3 saturday home games, 2 thursday home games and 1 friday home game. That looks very similar to the top AAC teams as well, look at UCF this year or USF last year. USF had 3 weekday games last year as well.

WMU last year had 4 weekend home games (1 was a sunday??) and only averaged 18K for those games.

MAC has tiny fanbases because not a lot of people care to go to MAC games.

And why do you think that is? Because the talent isn’t there on the field? Small attendance numbers?

It’s extremely simple. The MAC is in the shadow of the Big 10. That’ll never change unless the Mac schools move.
All the non-cartel conferences suffer from this except MWC—which still struggles with having flagships in small population states like Wyoming, Idaho, Hawaii, Nevada, New Mexico etc.

I think you meant to say the G5 is in the shadow of the P5.
