It is about eyeballs. High market penetration of tiny markets doesn't help much either.
I totally get that many of the MW numbers are bad, and that is kinda my point. We already have a bunch of teams that aren't exactly pulling their weight. Any addition at this point will drop the mean, not raise it. At this point UNLV/Vegas is raising the average well beyond the mean, and that is a bit scary in itself. Especially since until recently, we have not been a huge contributor either.
Small markets + high cost to add + questionable competitiveness= wtf is the point? (at least to me)
I mean Sac State at least has better potential with their market, new stadium and financial commitment.
I think Gloria has done her homework. She likely already met with existing media partners.
I'm guessing she's gotten feedback on who has value who doesn't.
I mean NIU and Toledo came out of left field. NDSU has been approached.
