Ask UNO if they see an attendance grow or shrink now that they are D1. I guarantee attendance goes up
I can agree with you on basketball though, if that's what you were referencing. That's going to go up by a noticeable amount thanks to their opponents.

Their football attendance? I heard that took the biggest drop after the move.

UNO dropped football and wrestling at the same, so there was no D1 football. Basketball attendance around 2000 on average. Hockey around 6000 average.

UNO could've built a successful FCS program IMHO. Unfortunately football loses a lot of money. Has UNL ever looked into starting a hockey program?
Sounds like Illinois will be starting up a team.

I think that there was some kind of deal. UNO drop football and have hockey instead. But that beautiful new building that UNL has can be used for hockey- the BIG would love to have another hockey team.

Illinois? Interesting. I heard that St Thomas is joining the SEC, so anything is possible, I guess :)

I'd be curious to know why you think the Summit League wouldn't be interested in taking two teams. Just because one has received an invite doesn't mean the other automatically won't. It's not like there is a one-team invite limit that I'm aware of.

3.) Is there a membership limit for the Summit League?
2) It's actually very likely that any school that needs the PR would announce this move before an NCAA decision had been reached. By doing so they get, got, national exposure, and showed that they do indeed have an invite in hand and are ready to make the move ASAP. By not announcing first they would have been in an even bigger pickle.
3) Not that I am aware of, but 10 is a much easier number to work with when it comes to schedules and other conference related things than an uneven number.
