With athletic budgets already decimated by the pandemic, and a non-revenue sport with zero attendance allowed, I think we have to assume that ND is being conservative in scheduling, but I think that the MAC/directional schools that ND would normally host on these weekday games are in even more dire straits than ND, and it's probably not close.

Even the bus ride/meals/etc. have to be killers for Toledo, the Michigan schools/etc. especially if ND is not paying them to come.

Of course, ND could have looked to schedule larger, more competitive schools like MSU, Michigan, Indiana, Purdue, OSU, Cincinnati, Northwestern, etc. Unless the Big 10 is not allowing OOC games?
