Nobody wants you if you will bring 15 fans to a bowl game. Bowl committees will put a red X on the conference, which means no bowl money for the conference.
I didn't think about it from that angle. How many people go to the Div 1-AA national title game though? I'm sure I can find that somewhere. I don't see them being less of a draw than some of those other low tier Div 1 teams like Arkansas St., Florida International, etc....
