they don't care about basketball Fred needs to get out of there
That's not true. They get good attendence and the UNL fans I know do care about basketball. Not like they do football but they care. Just like the KU fans I know care about football. It's not fun to suck at anything. ISU fans still cared about football in the 80s and 90s didn't we?

I did some work on UNO's campus last winter and was blown away at the new facilities that had been built on campus. Academic and athletic both. It's a nice campus. Think about what Grand View did X10. I know it pissed a lot of alumni off when they dropped football, added hockey, and made the transition to D1 but it's more than worked out for them. Their hockey team has already been to a Frozen 4 and now the basketball team is in the tourney. It's a good story.
It is truly a nice college, and growing. More fit for the modern era than a lot of schools.

Also I think they average around 3-4k so no reason an away with them could be a "home" for us.
I'm guessing it would be like Drake , the rest of their tickets are $10. The ISU tkt would be 40. Not sure if Drake tkts are still that cheap or if their prices have went up or not.

Gary Dolphin and the rest of the B1G announcers put that list together?;)

I think they basically just have more average teams that helps? They're top is a few good teams but nobody great like Houston.

I'm not sure what source is best for this type of deal. It started with someone saying they're the worst P5, which is easily the ACC.

Again, @flycy, @RonBurgundy, @WartburgClone do you have better sources for this?

have you watched any of their home games? they have a great home atmosphere (somehow).
One of the nicest arenas in college basketball also. It has NBA amenities. The Devaney Center always had pretty good crowds too. It was a real tough place to play when Danny Nee was coaching.

I have watched 5 or 6 of their games this year. their environment looks legit. people standing and cheering basically the whole game.
