The B1G is where we want to be.
How about Wake 3-nil over BC?

Is that football or a rugby scrum? I would have run from this channel if I even knew this game was televised. Who watches this s***?

 

[HoopsFan21]

Isn't BTN a Fox property? B1G teams have 3 of their games, or roughly 25%, on the BTN every season. I get it on Cablevision as part of a sports package.

Boston College has allowed just two offensive touchdowns in six games....they just have zippo offense to go with the defense.

#1 Total Defense

Don Brown's D is solid......and playing Maine, Howard, and Wake helps them in the stats department too.

Any notice that Texas Tech as the #2 Total Offense in D1 football to date and are #124 out of 127 in Total Defense. Talk about going for broke with a certain philosophy.

If Flug is right and BTN and ratings are going to drive future expansion, UConn is putting themselves in a very good spot.

UConn has had three nationally televised games so far this year:

Week 3 @ Mizzou - 12 Noon on ESPN 1.94 million viewers. Dwarfs UNC-Illinois on ESPN 2 by 1.4 million viewers and came within less than half a million of Michigan State-Air Force on ABC.

Week 5 @ BYU - 10:30 p.m. ESPN 2 1.24 million viewers. 120,000 more than the 7:30 Memphis-USF game on ESPN 2 and half a million more than Stanford-Oregon State in Week 4 in the same time slot on FS1.

Week 6 @UCF - 3:45 p.m. ESPNNews TBD. Here's a real test to see how well we can draw viewers. This was a game between two teams with a combined 2-8 record on a channel that not everyone in America even gets standard. For reference the game in this slot the previous week was ECU-SMU and it drew 84,000 viewers.

I'll update when the Week 6 #s become available (which should be in next day or so).

From remarks earlier in the year, Oklahoma maybe just as interested in getting away from the sinking XII and our from under Texas' thumb as the extra money.

Boy I wonder if OK will cause the BigXII to expand on will the schools find another conference?? I'd love to see - if the XII fall apart - the AAC pick up UWV, KSU, ISU and Texas...That would be a nice pick up...not going to happen thou...

[HuskyHawk]

Kids may enter school having rooted for one of the big 2.5 Florida schools. But down the road when UCF plays one of those other Florida schools, I'll bet the graduates root for their Alma Mater. Even UCONN fans will root for their school in the underdog role.
That said, UCF doesn't seem like Big 12 material, at least not the Big 12 pre-CR. Now? You never know.

My understanding from folks in central Florida is that this is not correct. Going to UCF is like going to Central CT State as a UConn fan. I'm sure the students support the school while they are there, and some do after, but stay with the school they long supported.

[Waquoit]

Things can turn around quickly though...we sometimes forget that Baylor had 13 losing seasons in a row before 2010 and went to their first bowl game in 17 years in 2011.

No "we" don't. UConn fans never forget we beat them twice.

I still believe we are more valuable on BTN than Oklahoma or Kansas.

I still believe we are more valuable on BTN than Oklahoma or Kansas.

We would like to think that, but football is still king. Our basketball is top notch and we bring ice hockey as well which you would think would matter for TV numbers December through April, but I guess that will never trump what you bring to the table Sept/Oct/Nov otherwise someone would have snapped up UConn a long time ago.

A network like BTN changes the dynamics and our value. 40 basketball games would drive a lot of ad revenue. Remember the size of our DMA and the average household income in CT. That's a significant source of revenue.

Why the delay?

 

[RegisteredUconn]

I would agree to an extent, they can drive their ratings up, but they'll never approach the level of an ESPN. Perhaps they could match NBC Sports, but without a major pro sport and only second-rate college sports, they'll be constantly running uphill.

You do realize how long "never" lasts, right? Kind of a funny prediction given that you identified how Fox can match or surpass ESPN as part of the same post that says it can't be done.

 

[Stinger92860]

Why the delay?

Still a developing landscape and we need a partner.

Let me just piggyback off this article and say BTM agrees...UH is in good B12 position...however...

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago
BTM now proclaims the B10 perception has changed on who the B12 has as top 3 candidates for 2 spots.
UH-CINCY-Memphis.
Quite a change

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago
According to BTM, B10 perception is that "more than a couple of B12 schools have "put a stop" to a BYU candidacy due to BYU location.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago
BTM goes even farther...UCF candidacy is is considered doomed..as ESPN has its "thumb down" on its potential candidacy to B12.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago
A couple of months ago BTM describe B10 perceptions of B12 of having no current schools pushing for a CINCY invite...

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago
But it has become more important that no B12 school is pushing against a CINCY B12 invite.
B10 perception has changed..CINCY is 11

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago
UH or Memphis is 12....according to B10 perception (what they have heard) B12 is at...at this point.
B12 is working on this expansion

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago
B12 will expand for 2017 FB season. And according to B10 perception it won't be BYU or UCF.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago
Yes...this is a whiplash by BTM....I admit.

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 1h1 hour ago
More than a few reasons BYU is out..but location has reared its head. 11:00am games not going away. Travel expenditures is a key component

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 49m49 minutes ago
Quite a change. But reasons have been stated.
If B10 has it read right...B12 near future will consist of:
CINCY/UH
Or
CINCY/Memphis

Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire · 45m45 minutes ago

B12 expansion Train is further down the track than believed.
