" Yes, for approx. 8 weeks out of 52 a year"

I dont know about South Bend, But here In Grand Rapids Michigan (Which isnt that far away) its colder ALOT more than 8 weeks out of the year. Its cold here beginning early November through late March and sometimes into late April and into early May. So according to my calculations thats on average about 6 months out to a 12 month year where it is ass cold and dark and cloudy and depressing. So I can understand totally why some kids dont want to play up here in the arctic. Youre point doesnt make any sense what so ever to me at least. If I were a 5 Star recruit I would choose a warm location over a cold one any day. Just my opinion.
