Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)

The flaw in your logic is that networks want national brands in big games against each other.

Ohio State v Texas is much more valuable than Texas v Baylor and Ohio State v Michigan State combined.

No $hit, Sherlock.

That is why you have strategic non con scheduling (e.g UT vs Ohio St) to supplement 7x10 and not facilitate the existing and orchestrated brand consolidation that currently exists in the oversized SEC and B10.

Once more, no one is disregarding quality regional matchups in a setup that prioritizes creating good matchups

There’s nothing questionable about it. You do realize the connection between money and ratings, correct?

The majority of fans want top matchups, which can include notable regional rivalries. Just not enough for a schedule commensurate with 7x10 conference setup

A minority of fans want a schedule based mostly on regionalism. Which is why it’s less revenue

What's streaming that's good TV/movies

Finished up The Boroughs last night. Nothing earthshaking, but a fun/light entertainment series.

Started Margo tonight and I have to say that other series makers should study this one, as they pack a ton into episode 1 so that by the end, you feel like you know something about the characters and the entire setup. Most of the time, we don't feel that way until the third or fourth episode.

Unless Baylor or Sparty are ranked, then those also draw well.

The reason they are the big brands is they usually start the season ranked. A couple years ago OSU v Indy would have been in that catagory and now it would be a headliner

Mosquitoes

True enough...... Ive kind of always thoughts bats were neat. About 4 years ago we built a bat house and put it up in our yard. Not sure if it works or not.......but we have a pretty good share of bats living in it and at night we see them come out and fly around. Bats eat mosquitos so in theory I sit back and drink beer watching them ... in my belief....pick off mosquitoes. It's like I have my very own anti mosquito air force!

Barn swallows too I think are big in this game. Gnats can get bad at my old farm but I honestly don't recall much for mosquitos and there's always swallows zipping around toward dusk.

Bats were more prevalent growing up but have sadly declined in appearances/population.
Roughly 25 years ago I was wading in a river fishing at dusk and the bats were literally so thick I couldn't cast. Was kind of enchanting standing there in the middle of all of them.

I know this guy gets a lot of **** for his delusions, and blind faith in something that should but won’t happen. But I agree with this. There will still be great games every week, especially if non cons are spread out. Winning teams get viewers. Every conference will have some winning teams. Really not any different than how it’s always been. These bigger conferences just have more winning teams, because there’s more teams.

Has the Big 12 ratings at 16 been better than ratings at 10? Don’t we have more winning teams?

Realignment has resulted in brand consolidation into P2 conferences, with unequal scheduling. Both aspects mean more potential for big brand matchups, although the unequal schedules biased towards tv considerations has yet to be fully exploited.

The 3x24 also results in each conference game drawing from larger pool of population. West coast now care more about BIG games, BIG area watching more west coast games. Better product identification too

How do you not understand that any format that doesn’t annually and intentionally place top brands against each other is suboptimal revenue?

3x24 facilitates this because it’s inherently unequal scheduling, and concentrating top brands into two of those conferences.

Much easier to have more top matchups. Which will include notable regional matchups, which tend to be top matchups.

The regional 7x10 setup cannot occur if it has any material scheduling meaning (constraints). Although some regional games are good matchups, many are not drawing from a big enough base

There are no net scheduling advantages with 3x24 or 4x18 compared to 7x10 without annually and intentionally scheduling the top brands against each other or placing top brands in conferences with total disregard of rational regionalism. Plus in 7x10, you actually conduct a legit conference title competition instead of the existing BS with oversized conferences and unequal conference schedules.
