Attendance numbers like these clearly demonstrate the huge gulf that exists between conferences that make up Power Five and those that comprise the Gang of Five. That gulf is even more profound when you include the attendance numbers of the AAC, CUSA, MAC, and Sunbelt. The divide that separates the elite conferences is growing larger every day. G5 conferences will all soon be playing in a lower division, one that you will be able to compete for a national championship in. Maybe that will help with the attendance numbers.
Before this all ends, many of its lower tier members will be left behind by the elite Power Five conference members when they form a 40-50 member Super Division and completely separate from the NCAA. That is when things will really improve with Gang of Five conferences. Schools like Oregon State, Iowa State, Mississippi State, Northwestern, and Louisville won't make the cut for the Super Division. At that point, all Gang of Five conferences will change as new conferences will be formed that will include the best of the Gang of Five members. Those G5 members that aren't included in this move will be relegated to FCS level football. That is where they belong.
