Half the games would be played with no students there to see them. Assuming that the rest of the student population has skedaddled by the second week of May after Finals, there would be a lot of empty seats. It would also be blistering hot.
Eh. What do I know. ESPN probably thinks they can fill in some content space with "marquee" matchups.
Northern schools. ie Big Ten, have been lobbying for ages for a later start to baseball season. They claim current schedule gives unfair advantage to schools in warmer climates

Common sense would say we’d have 3 night games on the weekend. No reason to rush back to school on a Sunday game since there’s no class on Monday.

Yes but people who go to the games have to work on Monday. That's why MLB plays mostly afternoon games on Sunday.
I thought that was to accommodate team travel more so than fan attendance

I thought that was more about the ESPN TV contract. They don't want other games to compete w/ the Sunday night game of the week. They play at night the rest of the week.
