If Uconn is really connected to ND

then this should help.

Also, this site has some interesting ratings data on other CFB games.

In addition, the NBC / ND contract, as currently structured, is not as lucrative as people might think. Now, they may be able to significantly improve upon it in the next cycle. ND remains premium content. I wonder what the average ACC and B1G game rating is?

SO since ratings and TV is driving this game, I went through all of the articles on that site for ratings and viewers (note - not all articles showed the share and the households). My takeaway, ESPN/ABC numbers dwarf everyone and they have the money. ND gets better ratings on ESPN than NBC. Versus and Fox/FX barely register a blip (format does not stay with the copuy and paste function):

Let's be clear. Uconn has no connection to ND. This should be apparent from the 10 for none football deal ND was trying to shove down Uconn's throat. Have you forgotten that?

Connected as in if ND goes to the ACC as #15, Uconn is #16 has been talked about on this board. Unless you disagree with that.

If UConn gets into the ACC will BC shut down their athletics department? Sure seems like they might. Sissies.

 

[Adios]

Looking at these ratings, we need to either go to the Big XII or the B1G, if we are going to change conferences. Screw the ACC.
