7. These games won't lose Muncie much $ unlike football or basketball.

Buffalo's men's basketball team is on the rise, with former NBA player & now head coach Bobby Hurley leading a near-upset of West Virginia in this year's NCAA Tournament. If Buffalo's basketball teams decide not to play games in Indiana (in Buffalo's Mid-American Conference, the one conference member from Indiana is Ball State), THAT will be a money hit.

Unfortunately, UB football has no scheduled games in Indiana in the first place for 2015. I hope they aren't scheduled to play Ball State in 2016.
