Oregon State could end up in Big 12 wrestling if so, maybe even if still in the Pac. MWC schools Air Force and Wyoming wrestle in the Big 12.

Which college football programs bring in the most TV viewers?
TV viewership isn’t always the best way to measure a college football program’s value. But here’s how each school ranks since 2015.

I admit a couple of these are higher and a couple are lower on here than I thought. I also have to say that since this goes back to 2015, some of these are for sure on an upward trajectory and others are on the way down.
Cal is a bit higher on here than I thought, we are slightly lower. Otherwise it gives a bit of an idea.
Honestly I think in terms of value I think several of the Pac schools are very close. AU, ASU,CU are really close to each other in value, UU has pulled ahead. I actually think Oregon and Washington are moving down.
For all intents and purposes, yes they will join the MWC, but they will re-name as the Pac12 since it has a bigger brand name.
That’s an interesting article. Agree that since this is from a few years back there might be some movement, I would have you guys higher since you have had more games as a ranked team latelyWhich college football programs bring in the most TV viewers?

Poor data, if he couldn’t find numbers he marked them as 0 instead of deleting them. So cyclone TV games were 0, ESPN+ type stuff was hard to find. Longhorn network didn’t report I think so it really punished the big XII model.Which college football programs bring in the most TV viewers?

A smarter analysis would have controlled for opponent, or even time/channel. I think someone else did just that and it was linked the LAST time this crap happened with OuT.Which college football programs bring in the most TV viewers?

One thing to keep in mind - value of a game (advertising) goes up exponentially with viewership. The Super Bowl is the extreme high end. But on the bottom end, even "free" sports like cycling get 300-500k viewers. So for Rutgers vs Illinois there is literally zero incremental value over cycling, bowling, cooking with Marge, etc.
I suspect that ESPN and Fox believe if they can get those top 20-24 teams in a single league, then they can pay a lot for those, and the rest of CFB would be basically down in the "free" zone in terms of cost (think G5 level $5M per school annual). That is their endgame imho.
Now, I think they are overestimating the differential viewership numbers. There would still be a lot of people watching their alma maters and regional schools. Frankly, I will be just fine watching the Tier 2 if that includes 50-60 universities including ISU. It could very well be better than status quo for ISU as long as the money doesn't completely evaporate.
He might do big 10 games, but only UCLA & USC home games.
I have a tough time believing Walton wants to fly to Ann Arbor, Champaign-Urbana, Iowa City, etc.in the middle of January.
But I do love some Bill. He loves Zona because of Luke. So maybe we could see him do some Big12 games.
Just a PSA here. I am going to pistol whip the next poster I see talking about MBB, WBB, wrestling or whatever other olympic sport in a conference realignment thread. They don't matter in all this, they never have, and they never will. The minute you find yourself considering anything but potential football TV revenue you are wrong, so take a step back from the keyboard and regroup.
Okay, back to regularly scheduled programming.

But with that baggage, still better than OSU & WSU. Not close.
The latter 2 schools AD revenue was around $72M in 2019/20. That was $20M lower than the next WORST Pac12 school. I believe it was CU.
So now would be a bad time to say I like the idea of adding the Arizona school's more for basketball and wrestling than football?
Hey Farva, what's that restaurant you like with all the goofy **** on the walls and mozzarella sticks?
Can we add anyone talking about market size to this list of pistol whipping offenses?
On OSU wrestling, I simply pointed something out, that they might well be Big 12 regardless. I wasn’t arguing that affects any decision.
Things are so convoluted any more, I had to look up myself exactly what wrestling teams are where.
Adding the Arizona schools would allow us to still be a top softball conference.
I actually think he does mean what he types, which makes him double the idiot.
If ESPN and Fox do that, they will be in for a world of hurt. Fans of every program left out would not only not watch, they would actively hate those networks.
