  1. 1. 2016-2023. 2. Streaming isn't included. 3. TCU's 2022 season ratings were very very good and that one good season bumped them a lot. 4. The left behind have been playing OUT and benefiting from those schools being in the TEN most watched schools. Their ratings will reflect that soon. 5. UCF, UH & CINCY's ratings aren't that good. BBut from 2016-2022 they are playing mostly mid-majors. So one can expect their rating to improve as they play teams that have better audiences. 6. It's hard to believe that these schools are out of the top 50. When they had multiple games against top performers each and every season. MISSOURI, Ariz St, Cal, Kansas, Virginia, Or St, UA & Illinois.
  2. The 4th column is a schools % of 8,470,000,000 annual CFB regular season viewership. 5th column is the aggregate total. So as oft been said, the top 18 teams have 52% of the viewers. The top 52 schools have 90% of the viewers. Dumping the bottom 18, at worst, costs you 10% of the viewers. But you'd increase overall views by not having those terrible performers in the mix.
  3. This was about the same time a poster on TexAgs was posting legit insider information about recruiting violations at OU. After getting scooped by message board posters, some main stream media elements began watching message boards more closely. By doing this, they seldom gleaned good information and were often duped.
  4. This sounds like a terrible deal for most of the remaining ACC members. Because about eight of them would be financially better off in the XII. And though increasing the XII to XIV would seem unwieldy it would be an opportunity to kill off a conference and to relegate some bad performers. Now we all know that UNC & Virginia keep floating B1G rumors, I don't think the B1G is ready to expand even more. The BigXII would gladly expand further, its not like they'd be messing up some comfortable consistency. There are only 6 original BigXII members left. So the Big12 should go after these schools: UNC, VIRG, VTECH, PITT, NCST, MIAMI, LOUIS. The eighth school would be one of these: Cuse, GTech or Duke. Hard pass on WAKE, BC, CAL, STAN and SMU. There's no reason for the eight schools who could go to the BIGXII to get locked in to a bad deal that doesn't expire for 12 years. They should get into a deal that is monetarily better and expires in 2031. Thus if you're UNC & UV, Your B1G dream could come true in seven years.
  5. So I used this paradigm to sort through and relegate some of 77 schools in the unwieldy everybody gets stay conference proposal. There are 22 States that have multiple teams. Some of those need to be dropped, not only do they not deliver TV viewers, but because of local regional population, they never be able to deliver the eyeballs. Here are the 22 states with multiple teams and who I would preserve. 1. Oregon (2). Drop OSt 2. Washington(2). Drop Wazzou 3. Cali (4) Keeps them all, I know CalStan have been under performing for years, I just keep thinking they'll wake up. 4. Arizona (2). Both teams stay 5. Utah (2) is indeed a low pop state, but both schools deliver good home attendance as well as decent to good TV numbers. Plus their rivalry delivers on a national scale. 6. Kansas (2) Population doesn't deserve two teams. Since football drives the money. Kansas has to go. 7. Iowa (2). Neither school has terrible numbers. ISU has one of the most loyal fanbases anywhere. Their attendance is good whether they suck or not. Both teams stay. 8. Oklahoma (2). Smaller pop state but of course OU stays, but so does OSt, they have the best numbers of the New16. 9. Texas (7) Yes, I said SEVEN schools. That is stupid. It needs to be Four like Cali. Bye Bye BU, UH & SMU. This somehow leaves us with TCU. But they perform better than, BU, UH & SMU. 10. Michigan(2) keep both schools. 11. Illinois (2) Illinois stays, see ya to NorthWestern. Illinois numbers aren't great, but the state population is good. 12. Indiana (3), Keeps ND, loses Purdue & Indiana 13. OHIO (2). No more Bearcats. 14. Kentucky (2). UK numbers are doing well enough to stay and so does Louisville. 15. Mississippi(2) Not big enough for two teams. Farewell, Miss St. 16. Georgia (2) Georgia Tech just doesn't move the needle. To bad, I kind of always liked them. 17. South Carolina (2) keeps both schools. 18. North Carolina (4). The ninth most populous state somehow has four teams in the 77. Only UNC & NCST can stay. No more Duke or Wake 19. Tennessee (2). Vandy should in no way get to stay. 20. Pennsylvania (2). Both schools stay. Pitt is marginal in some books, but they do as well as anybody else in the bottom half 21. Florida (4). Third most populous state deserves four but UCF is on the cusp of not making it. 22. Alabama (2) Both schools stay. There are 11 states with one team. These states keep their representation 1. Minnesota 2. Wisconsin 3. West Virginia 4. Missouri 5. Colorado 6. Nebraska 7. Arkansas 8. Louisiana. 9. New York. These two state and their markets get relegated. 10. New Jersey 11. Maryland. That is a total 50 teams. This strategy reduces fat while retaining most of the states viewers. If you want to cut to 48 you'd drop TCU & UCF, then have 4 12 team conferences.
  6. Exactly my thoughts when I saw this proposal. All the schools that should be relegated are getting together to try and make it look like its sensible to include everybody. I do think WVU is safe but maybe not Cuse.
  7. University of Arizona President Robert Robbins will resign when his contract expires in 2026. "Robbins decision comes less than a year after the university discovered an accounting modeling error created a $241 million deficit in the university budget. Athletics have taken center stage in the scandal. The school gave the athletic department a $55million loan to survive the pandemic." The athletic department has ZERO chance of ever repaying that loan. Recently fired AD Dave Heeke was accused of "financial and operational mismanagement." Heeke and Robbins were so sure that the new media rights deal would be $50mill a year that they had already started spending the windfall.
  8. It couldn't have worked out better for Tech, TCU, OkLite and Kansas. Rough Timeline 1. July 2021 UT & OU announce their move to the SEC. 2. The "Left Behind" are in full panic mode. Calls made to the PAC12 offices are pretty much ignored. 3. Sept 2021 BYU. Cincy, UCF & UH get a conference invite. This somehow stabilizes the BIG12. 4. In May of 2022 the PAC12 Executive Board sends an email to all the member schools boasting that the new media rights deal is going to be $50,000,000+ a year. (BTW several of the schools started spending the money that they thought they were going to get. That's why the UA AD was recently fired.) 5. June 2022, USC & UCLA announce that they are leaving for the B1G. (This is where the SHTF) 6. Then the Comcast overcharge scandal hits. Each PAC12 school owes Comcast $4mill. 7. It is revealed that the PAC12 network office space and studio in San Francisco had cost $90mill during its first 12 years. This coupled with the fact Larry Scott and then Klownkoff were the President of the PAC12 Network and received a separate extra multi million dollar salary for running the network, left the network with only $13,000,000 a year to distribute to its 12 members. 8. Sept 2022. The PACX turns down a media right deal of about $35mill a year. They were sure they were still worth $50mill a year, even without USC & UCLA 9. Oct 2022. The BIGXII Finalizes its media rights deal for about $31mill a year. 10. The PACX is doomed, there aren't any suitors left and no time slots available. All they can get are streaming offers. So when considering that the PAC12 was going to lose USC & UCLA. The PAC12 Network was a fraud. Klownkoff and the PACX executive committee way overestimated their conferences value and then the Comcast scam. The Big12 schools that weren't good enough for the PAC12, totally and completely dodged a bullet.
  9. So if the B1G takes UNC & Virg. And the SEC takes FSU & Clemson. Then the Big12 cherry picks the ACC. So here's a first look at the final three conferences.
  10. Bobby Knight thought real highly of Rick. Tech was playing UT the night RMK got his 1,000 win. Tech had Bobby sign the stat sheet to put in their archives. RMK did indeed sign it, he knew it had some intrinsic value. And he gave it to Rick out of respect.
  11. Should have Super Bowl MVP on his resume. So what that Cooper Cup had some good catches late.
  12. Kids play a game called, "THE GAME". The point of The Game is to see how long you can go without thinking of The Game. So some of you reading this know what I'm talking about and I just ruined The Game for you. While watching the VY highlights posted above I just lost a game I play called, "Fuck Jeff Fisher".
  13. Wisconsin is one of the states where college and pros get good traction. You have the Bucks & the Packers. Then the Badgers and believe it or not Marquette's home attendance averages 15,000. And they play their home games in the same arena as the Bucks. Houston is weird as well, They be crazy for CFB as long as its not Houston.
