Other than Air Force and Boise State, is anyone else in that conference really pulling in eyeballs?

Be honest with yourself, you have Colorado state, San Diego State, Nevada and others. The only conference that has more "household" names in G5 is the AAC. CUSA has just a few, that's it.

The 3 you listed are far from household names, sure they get some eyeballs from late night college football fans and degenerate gamblers but it's not like they are must-see TV.

Later time-zones definitely benefit them when it comes to getting their games on national TV.

No G5 other than a very few are must watch TV, but don't fool yourself, those I listed people have heard of, doesn't mean they are Alabama, but they aren't UNCC either. A common name is more marketable, end of story.

In my part of the country UNCC is a much bigger household name (as is Marshall) than San Diego St or Nevada. I'd bet recruits would be excited to possibly go to Charlotte instead of SDst until the went for a visit, saw the stadium, conference ratings and TV deal.
