Realignment talk not going away
...I really don’t know how the media marketers measure the financial standing of different programs’ viewers/fans. I suspect this factor explains why the B1G media payout is better than the SEC’s. That is an interesting and odd graph, quite a few teams have over a third of their total weeks in the top five, including UCF. Clearly some of these teams benefit just from caring about football for longer or longer ago than others. But I think it is pathway kind of thing: Win games Sell more seats invest in more seats See #1 To your point, the teams who won the most over time should have the biggest stadiums that are filled to capacity. And I still think that paid attendance, at the school level, is a great indicator of fan support. Total stadium size kind of caps your total market size and percent of capacity shows how well you're capturing your market. In the above, you have UCLA, kind of right in the middle of the "Look at how awesome I am" in the AP results, playing in a stadium that is clearly not on campus and too big for their needs, only filling around 40k or around 40% of the Rose Bowl, in any given year. To either wise is Tennessee and Clemson, whose stadiums are always rocking. From a what can we learn, I'd say the ones with low capacity and losing (e.g. empty stadiums and bad records), kind of makes sense, likely will bounce back. Hopefully...maybe....they better. The ones losing and have high capacity, look out, they're going to be on fire if they start winning. Everyone else you're kind of where you expect to be. Win for long enough while being at capacity and you can either raise prices or increase seating. Once you reach a certain threshold between 80-100k your prices just tend to go up as your seating market caps. All this being said, secondary market ticket prices are BS for the most part and are typically a dumb way to judge interest. Not only does it not benefit the school, but it could fluctuate with weather or time of year or how well the season played out. In the example above, single game secondary market jumps rarely occur because the host school cares more, but because the host school fans realize they can cash in on the visiting fans. Supply, meet demand. If a fan can pay for a third of their season in one game, because someone is going to overspend for it, why not sell? Everyone has a price. It doesn't mean interest in that game, overall, is higher, it just means there is more interest in cashing out of that game. Especially if it is easier to see a game in that town. When talking about realignment though, it is nearly all, to the second point, about broadcast viewership and marketing to those demographics, namely 18-34 males. And most of that is viewership over time, they don't care about attendance they're marketing to who is watching. The B1G is top draw with some pretty solid demographics, and they are top draw in the biggest DMAs. They also get a bonus if the company owns the local TV stations in the markets around the games, e.g. Chicago, LA, NYC, Philly, DC. Indiana and Northwestern are as craptastic as Mississippi State and Vandy, but Michigan/Ohio State in the regular season out drew the SEC championship game and every other game last year except Michigan's games against Washington and Alabama. That's how the B1G tops the SEC. Their brands are bigger in bigger markets and their media contract allows them to high light them in different broadcasters in different windows all day so they have three companies marketing them non-stop. Its smart, and its going to be annoying to have to listen to. -
