Yes, at the moment they only have one, and have lost six of them (Arkansas, Mizzou, Nebraska, Colorado, Oklahoma, UT). UConn helps there too.
They have two currently WVU and KU. Will have three with Colorado and now likely more.
Yep, I forgot WVU. My mistake.
If UConn doesn’t get an invite, the rest of the Big 12 has also forgotten about WVU lol
How do you categorize BYU and UCF?
Not state flagships!
If Deion wasn't at CU, would they even be excited?
I was looking at the wrong chart, had Notre Dame-OSU as the top rated game. I should've known that was wrong.MSU-Marquette in the tourney had 10.91 viewers...big game.
Sunday’s Michigan State-Marquette NCAA men’s basketball tournament second round game averaged a 5.9 rating and 10.91 million viewers on CBS, down 5% in ratings and 3% in viewership from a higher-profile Michigan State-Duke game last year (6.2, 11.22M). As is typical of the late Sunday window on CBS, the game ranks as the most-watched of the tournament thus far.
Check your data,,
Ohio State-Michigan football had 17,4....Tenn-Georgia had 13,6...Bama-Tenn had 11.56,,,Bama-Texas had 10.6...Notre Dame-OSU had 10.53

Of course. But the potential following they bring is significantly more than say Houston, Cincinnati, Louisville, Pittsburgh, Wake and so on.
Kind of like Clemson and Dabo Swinny.
BYU has a big following. UCF has the worst following in the conference and shouldn't have been invited. I can only imagine the deep regret the Big XII has.
Not state flagships
CFB media is wild. Sometimes tradition and history matter and sometimes it's all about "what have you done for me lately?"
Marcus Jordan is not walking through that door (without a GILF by his side)
Basketball isn't that big in LATAM, only the NBA is relevant, and that's really for the playoffs. Europe already has the euro league and local leagues, the market is saturated.
Each of the fifty states has a state flagship, but not all of them have perceived value in the context of power conference realignment. Some are thoroughly irrelevant. Accordingly, the state flagship boast is pretty meaningless. And stale.
You’re right, not all of them have perceived value. But ones that win NC’s and have almost 4 million people do.
yeah, I never understood selling college sports in other countries other than an occasional tour
This guy failed logic.
According to whom? Yeah, the voices in my head.
I'll acknowledge your most recent national championship -- all of them, in fact. There's no doubt that UConn is a force in college basketball. But a state with a population of 4 million? That's about the same as the population of metro Houston.
