The new JMU facilities are very nice, but their arena only holds 8500. Their old facilities were a complete dump.
Since I have the numbers pulled up and I'm using 2019 since that was before Covid killed attendance, here are numbers for some of the considered schools (I'm adding a few MAC schools that I know little about). I'm guessing this isn't going to be pretty.
App St. - 1026
Buffalo - 5290
Charlotte - 3696
Coastal Car. - 1199
FIU - 994
FAU - 1190
Ga. Southern - 1988
Ga. State - 1716
James Mad - 2464
Liberty - 2913
Louisiana - 3596
La Tech - 2170
Marshall - 6065
UMass - 2792
Miami - 1696
No. Illinois - 1083
North Tex - 3364
Ohio - 5490
ODU - 6620
Rice - 1818
S. Miss - 2786
Tex. St - 3067
Toledo - 4771
UAB - 3037
UTSA - 1277
W. Kentucky - 5809
Some appear to have decent support. The average D1 attendance was 4593 for the year.
The AAC averaged 6739 and that's inflated by the three schools that have over 10k on average (Wichita, Memphis, Cincinnati)
Cincinnati - 11256
ECU - 3755
Houston - 6052
Memphis - 14065
SMU - 5770
USF - 3365
Temple - 6211
Tulane - 1457
Tulsa - 4229
Wichita - 10194

I'm not sure ODU gets through the football side of things.
I don't follow college football closely since we don't play, but of this list I would think based on what I can recall that the ones that could get by in football might be App St., Buffalo, Coastal, FAU, Liberty, Marshall, N. Texas, Toledo, UAB, UTSA and WKU. All of these schools have something working against them as well, be it basketball success, budget constraints, location, history, lack of history, politics.
I'm still saying the best move is to add no more than two until the XII decides what it's going to do. And nobody is getting kicked out. Especially the school that has one of the best football attendance numbers in the conference. I'm guessing on that. I remember back in the day that was the only bragging right that ECU fans seemed to have was how well supported football was in wherever they're located.Infinity Art Glass - Fantastic local artist and Shocker fan

I see we have reached the bargaining stage in this grief saga:
"If we can add Buffalo and Toledo..."
Depression to follow as we recognize the last ships have left the port and we are not on one. A Hail Mary from the Big East our only lifeline.
Acceptance of our fate as a diminished national brand? Elusive for many.
