No one would watch.

Alot depends on which AQ conference the MAC goes up against. If it's the ACC, the MAC would get eyeballs.

Obviously head-to-head vs. Big 10 would be worst case. But it really will come down to the relevance of the game after that. You are going to pick up some midwestern viewers if the other game doesn't have some significance just because given a choice people tend to watch a local team of lower interest over a "national" team of low local relevance.

If it were say the ACC and the ACC isn't vying for one of the playoff spots, the MAC will do well especially around the home base. If the MAC is contending for a CFP slot it will draw even better.

What's the latest on the proposed MAC-SB Little Rock bowl game?? Are they going for certification?

Looks like a nice venue. 54k is probably a little oversized for a minor bowl, but not by too much. Hopefully you and the Belt can tie it up.
