Market didn’t hurt but UCLA and USC were also the biggest brands in the PAC-12
Chicken and egg.....no?

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 ?

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

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.And the south...Midwest and south are football hotbeds...
New York is number one. But isn’t a big college football town.

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?Exactly, suggesting that the BiG took in Rutgers because of market demographics.......god knows it was't because of football prowess![]()
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 payoutsHmmm,
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.
UMass moved to the MAC because it will never have better options.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
new contract close to being finalized today article linkSources tell ESPN there will be a financial incentive for any independent team that reaches the CFP. (There will no longer be a participation bonus for any of the other leagues -- a detail that was frustrating to some leaders in the Group of 5.) Gr schools increase from 1.5M per to 1.8M
-> 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. <-

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.So is ours better or worse than G5s?

No, that money would be lost in ticket salesOch!!!!
Would 1.4M give you guys some pause of being so pro indy. Would love to have you in the MAC with us.
