I don't count BYU and Army as "P5" home games. If I did it would put the MWC over the AAC by a couple games.

I meant that 3/4 of the G4 (cusa sun belt and mac) totaled less than the AAC by itself. 49 to 47.

MWC itself is impressive but I attribute it more to the Pac having no one else to play whereas the BIG, ACC, SEC, and big 12 are all over here by us.

Oh got ya. I see a trend in this: The AAC and MWC continue to get H&H's with P5 schools. SOME CUSA schools schedule very well with P5. Most aren't getting H&H's. The SB and MAC are really struggling to get home games. The gap is widening as it's harder and harder to get these guys to come to your place.

Actually, it's getting easier for all G5 schools to get P5 home games. Sure, the tip top, 85,000+ seat stadium schools won't do road games at G5 schools, but the rest are tired of paying $1.2, $1.3, $1.4 million for a home game against a G5. Coupled with league's like the B1G banning FCS games, you have series that include home games for very recently FCS App State against Wake Forest, UNC, and Miami. School's like Charlotte, which has zero football history, are getting home games against Duke, UNC, and Maryland.

I'm not saying the Sun Belt or MAC can expect as many P5 home games as AAC schools, but the opportunities for home games against P5 schools are getting better, not worse.

Today it was announced Michigan paid MTSU 1.6 million to play them in 2019.

Cuse is paying MTSU $950k to play this Fall. Michigan got a decent deal per seat price.
