Goodness the UCLA-USC series should get some hype. I assume the matchups will be available on real television channels this year.

Maybe on the weekends. Can't imagine weeknight games on those carriers unless those LA schools play at 5-6 PM Pacific time.

BiG games are mostly owned by Fox and BTN, but NBC/Peacock does get a small slice, which is why one of the key Clark/Iowa games was on Peacock.

But even Peacock is a step up from PACN.

Maybe their plan is to put her inside and grab all the rebounds from their 3 point misses? ;)

If we watch the stats, we can now establish a conversion factor for d2 to d1 rebounds.

What would be the tipoff time? Can't imagine much attendance at 5 PM Pacific time.

Depends. Could see them, esp BTN, doing a double header — one from East/midwest at 7 or 8 eastern and then followed by a west coast game at 9/10. Or even a triple header.

One of the advantages of adding the west coast schools was that it opened up new time slots, meaning more $$

Fox scheduled a bunch of the Iowa games on the weekend. Only makes sense when wanting to compete against ESPN which owns that space. Peacock was leveraged during the week for Iowa night gamea. The fact it's a streaming service could mitigate the time difference, no different than ESPN+.

I get why Iowa games were selected. But, they are in the Central time zone; that made sense on week nights. Not sure it would make sense for home games at USC or UCLA on week nights if ratings and advertising dollars are the objective.

You're skipping over my other points from my previous posts. Peacock benefits from new subscribers who want to see these teams play. It's another revenue stream in addition to the advertising they play during these games.

And being able to watch at your convenience versus trying to stay up for the West Coast games is the way to get around scheduling. There are plenty of posts on this board where members talk about watching the game in the morning or on the weekend. Or throw it all on BIG10+. It doesn't matter. The BIG10 has a multitude of options to leverage.

I don't think USC and UCLA have rabid fans interested in women's hoops like Iowa fans. Juju is a superstar. We'll find out if the different time zone makes a difference.

I assume the big10 will do a Fri/Sun sked. In the past, who was watching BTN after 9 or 10? Almost no one I bet. Even if a west coast game only gets 100k viewers, that’s 95k more than before.

This is assuming only USC or UCLA fans will be interested. Interest in Iowa extended beyond just the Iowa fanbase. With the amount of media attention and advertising campaigns that include JuJu on national TV, the attraction of casual fans could be larger than one may assume. You're also assuming that games where they play on the East Coast wouldn't be part of the schedule.
 
Stinkin' LA schools. Not only were they the first big domino in the Pac 12 ceasing to exist, now they are scooping up most of the biggest prizes from fellow former Pac 12 schools. I'm gonna have a pretty hard time rooting for them in the B1G. :oops:

The original post which led to this discussion was: "Goodness the UCLA-USC series should get some hype. I assume the matchups will be available on real television channels this year."

I'll end my thoughts with that. Better to have this discussion in a B1G thread instead of this one which is intended for new transfer commitment announcements.

I checked my phone while in the drive through at Cookout... so disappointed that I thought about just driving off and coming on home without food.

I said a couple of years ago, that I was tired of UCLA popping up on all of these top recruits list. Now I'm tired of them taking top players in the portal. Greedy Bruins aint a good look .

That is one chubby bear. What's really funny is I've seen pictures of real bears that put that to shame, like almost have their belly dragging on the ground.

That's what happens when you don't share the wealth

So they're back on the Purdue bandwagon for an announcement. Let's see if this holds true this time. If they're wrong, the follow up post will at least have some humour to it. Skim has been entertaining for sure.
