Big 12 FB Viewership Numbers

Somewhat skewed by bottom feeders. When you watch the weekly numbers, the top 4 SEC games can get 4mil+, the B1G, 3 mil+ and then the Big 12 usually tops at 2 mil unless in marquee time slot.

A lot of the bigger conferences suffer in numbers though with games like Northwestern, Indiana, Vandy, etc.

The question is do networks prefer big value games of 4mil or two games of 2mil?
I would think networks would appreciate the density and parity of the big 12 and not having to air some completely non competitive or non interesting game just because.

Sure you aren’t getting games like Ohio St/Michigan or Georgia/Alabama, but you also aren’t getting Vandy and NW and all the extreme bottom feeders of the larger conferences.
 
I agree, for a while. I can start watching it and be entertained but I get exhausted quickly because there is so much talking going on. I've been married for almost 25 years and already have selective hearing.

Haha, I can definitely see that. Nice thing about it though is that my wife can rewatch the same episodes over and over and I can take away something different from the dialogue each time.

Those numbers are big and flashy (and really good) but much of the draw is how the entire slate and down card does too. Which hurts the Big 10 when Rutgers-Maryland gets 700k viewers.

The Big 12 will likely never get the big headlines but will be more solid throughout their slate which will make them more attractive than the Pac-12.

You are adding UCF, Houston, and cinci, you are going to have a lot more extreme bottom feeder games going forward. Could say the same for BYU a lot of years. The Big12 is still in a great position but removing OUT for those 4 is still a huge hit.

It will be a big of a hit as the change in tv slots end up being after they finalize the divorce.
 
Oh no. She was a bit of a trainwreck in a few different ways.

Got the boot after she said she was going to "wing it" during a CEO meeting.

I assume the 4M. 1 game of production cost for same viewership.

I actually would challenge you to find more then one week where 4 different SEC games eclipsed 4mil viewers.
 
This is a good source. Some interesting numbers from this past week.

Top NFL Game: Bills @ Chiefs 25.4 million

Top CFB Game: Bama @ Tennessee: 11.5 million

Top MLB Playoff Game: Guardians @ Yankees 5.3 million


Maybe a better indicator of the craziness here is I'm somebody who used to watch baseball tonight literally every day at 9:00, and I literally didn't even know the MLB playoffs had started.
