Key tweets, and it's all gone to Hell.

Not sure if this has been shared - welp. When Umass FB is doubling you in viewership, you know you've hit rock bottom.


Do the numbers reflect just home games or the away games where Umass is playing teams like Georgia on the road? That would distort the figures by a large amount I would guess.
 
Fake classes or not UNC sees the writing on the wall. Time to make sure they get a life raft when they still can.
 
How is this possible?

I have been told repeatedly it’s. All. About. Football. Than why UNC? They can’t even beat us. They are not good in football.

Their brand is based solely on their men’s hoop program so I guess basketball brand does matter when they want it to.

1 - UNC is the flagship and biggest brand in one of the two traditional southern states that the SEC does not have a presence in.

2 - As limited as their football brand may be, it is still well above and beyond what we have as a football brand.

3 - Their academic status (even with the no-show classes) is such that the B1G will be every bit as interested in them as the SEC. They may actually have sufficient leverage where they could choose which P-2 becomes their home.

I have every reason to believe that UNC will rise to the occasion.

Yes, they are a mid level D1 football program at best right now.

But they will have ample opportunity to elevate things to where they will be a mid level SEC program.

Which is a big step up.

Esteemed state flagship in a growing state with a big overall brand - good business is about potential, not looking backwards.
 

I cringed when I saw your post, but the actual EO was pretty reasonable. I don't think it's enforceable, but the positions are reasonable.

I'm not entirely confident about this, though it's possible. I'm pretty confident that they're going to get a big ass payday though.

That may be the conventional wisdom, but it's not the only factor a conference might consider when looking to expand. You can't always gauge potential based solely on past performance. I'm not saying it's going to happen, but an infusion of SEC money could do wonders for UNC football over the long term. Yes, UNC is known as a basketball brand, but its geography and demographics have to be attractive to the SEC, and adding UNC would certainly help the SEC in its quest to bolster academic reputation. SEC basketball is also showing signs of improvement.
 
That’s how you know it’s a garbage article.

CBS Sports doesn’t get ratings figures.

From the data: Streaming numbers are included if available. Games with no available data are counted as zero.

Yup it's exactly that... plus streaming games only count if the streamer reports the numbers. It's then divided by the number of games.
 
I feel like this would be great for us. ACC would look to expand to avoid becoming the PAC 12.
If the ACC has an Exodus of its most valuable programs, it supplants the Pac 12 as the most valuable "G8" conference. At that point, it may well become the "P2" and everyone else. It's unclear where that leaves the Big 12.
