Markets...DMAs and markets are not the same....people watch brands in more than a DMA...Tuscaloosa, Baton Rouge, Opelika (Auburn), etc.

Tallahassee ranked DMA # 105....Lansing #115....Gainesville #159...Madison #72.

Boston is #9 DMA but does it mean anything ?

I can assure you it did for the BiG when they went into LA, NY/NJ and Maryland. The BiG and SEC are looking at a pro franchise sports model to grow. If you are on the outside looking in and in smaller markets you should be nervous. ND might be the exception in terms of a national brand……maybe….

Yes and no... LA has been the #1 market and UCLA / USC the top brands... but in terms of DMA size #2 is San Francisco-Oakland. Cal & Stanford were not the second highest set of brands. Phoenix is 3rd and Arizona & ASU are much further back. Seattle is the 4th and Portland the 6th (after Denver in 5th) market in the league. It was Washington & Oregon who were the second highest set of brand-value with the others lagging behind from there... the Big Ten acted accordingly selecting the top brands, even ahead of the biggest markets. (For context Denver has 500k more people in it's market; Phoenix & San Fran about double (so 1.2M more people in theirs) over the Portland DMA
 
New York is number one. But isn’t a big college football town. Neither is Philly.

In the mid west, people come from far and wide to see the game. A much bigger area than just the boundaries of the TV market.

Almost certainly true, but I have no first hand knowledge of the south other than having gone to Clemson a bunch of times mid week.
 
What did I see yesterday? 50-50 that congress will grant NCAA anti-trust exemption this year?

Exactly, suggesting that the BiG took in Rutgers because of market demographics.......god knows it was't because of football prowess ;)

Boom! Rutty going to the BIG 10 was all about demographics (NYC market). Right??? Riddle me this...who is the bigger presence on the City? WBB is on SNY. MBB fans are the "6th borough" for games at MSG. Pretty much a UConn home game. We have more juice than St. John's at the Garden. B10 picked the wrong school, down football program at the time and all. If football was cresting they would have overlooked the AAU accreditation thing, or at least given us a window to complete. As much as I love the BE for hoops, the B10 checks all the boxes. That ship has sailed. The school is doing the best they can currently with the BE/Indy football scenario, but for how much longer?

OK rant over. My family is tired me chasing them around the house going off about this.
 
. basketball has been a NY sport forever. Football? Not so much.

Hmmm,

So that looks to be UConn/OSU/WSU sharing a .20% bucket.

.2% / 3 = .06667% per school UConn/Pac2 Indy.
G5= 9% / 63 schools? = .142857%

Bottomline, the decimals matter here for us folks! Lets get more decimals.

Hence why UMass did the math and went to the MAC. Not saying we should do the same but Indy status is killing us and this will be even worse. Schools like UMass will actually be making more money from the CFP payouts

UMass moved to the MAC because it will never have better options.
 


-> With the increase in the ESPN distribution, no school’s revenue will decrease. Major conference schools currently receive about $6 million in distribution from the CFP. The SEC and Big Ten schools will see their annual distribution triple if not quadruple into the low $20 million range. ACC and Big 12 schools are set to see a more than doubling of their previous amounts. Independents UConn, Washington State and Oregon State will get a small portion.

Notre Dame, one of the sport’s historical powers that retains its seat in the CFP governance structure, will see its distribution double to $12.5 million annually — with a caveat that includes a financial bonus. The four independents are eligible for a performance-distribution payout. If Notre Dame or other independents qualify for the playoff, they each receive a flat fee of $6 million. <-

So is ours better or worse than G5s?

Hard to tell as the above is 90.8% and it is roughly 9% to the G5. Is it 0.2% which is less than 1%, just don't know. The Power teams got a big raise, the G5 is small raise, FCS has been cut out and perhaps the 0.5% of indy split is being reduced to 0.2%. The devil is in the details.
If so it would be 2.6M divided by 3 or 867k. which is close to this coming years payout and would be smaller than the G5 or half the per team share. If the other two are absorbed into the MWC, perhaps a good raise.
