I think they'd rather get into a bigger market.  Louisville is heavily invested in NIL.  There's a lot of money there.  Cincy would get you a foot in the door to a Big Ten state.

I don't think passionate fanbase in a non market does anything for them.

Yeah, you're probably right.

So what do Syracuse, Pitt, BC and WVU do? Let alone Dook and Wake?

So, if/when the B1G and SEC balloon to 24 each, when do the networks tell them to trim down to 20?

And if so, who is out?

Gimme your 8 - 4 from each conference.

I know. But if the B1G picked up Notre Dame, why would they bother keeping either of the schools in Indiana?

My understanding is that IU has a ton of NIL money.

Sigh.  I really hate this new-look college football.

So? They don't have football fans. They have basketball fans who root for Notre Dame every fall. 

And for as mediocre as Purdue is in football, IU is miles worse.
