I feel like low gate numbers is a cop out for those small schools to leave. Basketball is still the big bread winner in just about every school in Indiana. You draw similar numbers expect you get more the double the home games. So that i just don't understand that but, We've gotta figure out something. SB Washington is still a school of under 1,000 so putting them in a conference with Elkhart and Penn both of whom have more than double is crazy. I think if the NIC wants to stay alive they have to pouch schools from neighbors. You've gotta sell them on competitive balance and ease in travel.
