A lot of teams though dont mind the exchange and sacrifice of taking the percieved hit of a midweek game.
It achieves two MAJOR things for any low to mid tier football club. You get national exposure to your college and ball club that would normally be overlooked by the one or two "marquee" teams that also play in your recruiting area. Also, it gives regarded players expanded options in which school they want to go to. They will see an immediate chance to play at Louisville, or be stuck in 2nd or 3rd, sometimes even 4th string at a major school and only get one year to play.
Not necessarily a MASSIVE boon for Louisville, but for teams like Memphis, Central Michigan, Marshall (who has really had every thursday game so far this season, or so it seems.) and those others its a massive win with a minor give away in not having a Saturday game.
