How much are we paying this guy? I love it.

It's true. The eyeballs we give YES is evidence. I know a ton of people that don't miss a UConn game on TV but haven't attended one in years for a variety of reasons. If actual eyeballs count for something now, maybe we're in the right place at the right time for a change.

Is the B12 media deal solid? Seems that should have been blown up when the cash cows left.

Is the B12 media deal solid? Seems that should have been blown up when the cash cows left.

Maybe they're guessing that the greater demand for CFB in Big 12 country compensates for the loss of branding. However, should they be able to bring over programs from the PAC then there's no more question of their future solidity. Unless ESPN/ACC wants to put their noses in the process.

Are you saying Stanford has higher TV ratings? The academic stuff, sure. But Oregon has much higher tv ratings.

whatever data they use for viewer rating, Stanford scores higher. I don't know the data they use and wouldn't be allowed to know even if I asked.

For comparison, Rutgers scores positively in 14 out of the 27 categories. Compare that to what I listed for Oregon and you start to learn why Oregon to the Big Ten is an extreme long shot.

The ranking among Pac 12 schools among Big Ten presidents for their remaining members are (in order): Stanford, Washington, Cal, Utah, Arizona, Arizona State, Colorado, Oregon, Washington State, Oregon State.

What I find extremely interesting is the rating score USC is getting vs Stanford. Stanford is clearly number 1, but USC would rank 2 in the Big Ten and not that far behind Stanford.

The negotiations, thus, are with Stanford and Notre Dame and nobody else.

college football fan@Genetics56 · 3h

college football fan@Genetics56 · 3h
Stanford is rated to have a higher viewer rating than Oregon. Population kills Oregon and Stanford gets a very high rating.

Takeaway: Stanford vs Oregon when they complete the categorical scoring, Oregon is rated very poorly and Stanford rates higher than every Big Ten school.

For those asking about Kansas, Kansas ranks good in 15 categories and extremely poor in 6 categories. The acceptance rate for Kansas is a killer. Very negative rating. They rank negative in all football-related categories and rank 3 overall in basketball.

Miami rates a lot higher among Big Ten presidents than anyone would imagine. I'll post the ACC numbers sometime tomorrow. Gotta go to bed.

Might B12 soon be playing 10 conference games, 2 out of conference, and completely stop scheduling 1AA? It’s being discussed.

MH ver3@MH ver3 · 6h
10 conference games would be 12 extra games of inventory to sell. No 1AA opponents means the quality of the non-conference games would be better as well.

Reading this is just nonsense. Going to a 10 game conference schedule with 2 out of conference games means that Big 12 schools could only have 6 home games per year when they currently have 6 or 7 home games. And, the media contracts cover all home games so going to a 10 game conference schedule actually reduces the inventory of home games. Yes, there would be more Big 12 games, but overall inventory doesn't increase. In 2022, the inventory of home games would drop by 5.

Dropping FCS games would improve the quality of the inventory, but that would probably mean more losses for teams.

 

[Slasher]

It's a whole lot of nonsense across the board. Oregon's acceptance rate is lower than Indiana and Iowa. It's very comparable to Michigan State, Nebraska and Minnesota. Not far off from others like OSU, Illinois, etc. These big public schools aren't Harvard.

I'd like to know how many of the 27 categories UCONN ranks positive. Rutgers 14 and Kansas 15 of 27. ND only has 13k students. I'm surprised the B1G is looking at privates instead of just large publics. Well not surprised, but you know.

I know longer say never to any theory thrown around. There's been too many Shaggy "Zoinks" head shakers coming out of realignment. That being said, this seems absolutely ridiculous. So, it's now implied that SMU is trying to decide between the ACC, Big 12 and PAC 12? And while they prefer the Big 12, they could be convinced by the ACC to join, but only if ND joins?

It still wouldn't shock me if it's true because I clearly would never be put in charge of realignment for a conference and only the Big 10 and SEC seem to make decisions that make business sense.

Well, I am enjoying the uncertainty (fear) that this is causing the schools in those conferences. Reading their message boards is fun.

9 out of the top 11 football schools in the Big Ten CEO's are women, with a big influence that came from UCLA. The two schools in the ACC that rank high enough in football and academics in the ACC for the Big Ten are: Miami and Georgia Tech. Flugempires tweet about them is right

college football fan@Genetics56 · 47m
That tells me that Flugempires source DOES have the correct information and should be taken seriously. The data provided to me aligns with what Flugempire has been saying too. So it is legit.

college football fan@Genetics56 · 40m
In the eyes of Big Ten presidents, the ranking for ACC schools are: 1: Duke, 2: UNC, 3: UVA, 4: Miami, 5: Georgia Tech, 6: Boston College, 7: Wake Forest, 8: Pitt, 9: Syracuse, 10: VA Tech, 11: NC State, 12: FSU, 13: Clemson, 14: Lousiville.

Miami and Georgia Tech are rated as better population and market fits than other ACC schools. Thus, those are the two schools the Big Ten will want the most. That goes against what people would assume - North Carolina first. It's not true. That was a Delany thing.

college football fan@Genetics56 · 33m
You can go to Flugempires twitter handle and see a tweet from a few days ago with him mentioning Miami and Georiga Tech. The data I was provided confirms his tweet.

The path to 20 schools for the Big Ten are the following: 17: Notre Dame, 18: Stanford, 19: Miami, 20: Georgia Tech.

college football fan@Genetics56 · 40m
The Big Ten interest, when you look at institutional fit, will include the following ACC schools: Duke, North Carolina, Georiga Tech, Miami, and Virginia. Nobody else has a chance at getting admitted to the Big Ten.

Is the ACC trying to add B12 schools or PAC schools to keep up with the B1G and SEC and try to get a better tv deal? If so, then unfortunately that does not bode well for UConn to be included in the ACC’s plans. I can see ESPN screwing UConn again.

Why? How many B12 schools would make the jump? (not many) How many would appeal to the ACC? (not many). It could be just WVU, Cinci, UCF and UConn as the 4th. Keeping everything in the eastern time zone. The B12 is looking westward.

I don't think the ACC is adding anyone unless/until they get pillaged by the SEC/B1G.

They are locked into a GOR until 2036 and the only add that really moves the revenue needle for them is Notre Dame.

I doubt they are going to watch the Big 10 and SEC make 2x in TV revenue for the next decade and do nothing about it.

Sure there are no adds that are going to match adding USC, Texas, or OU but sitting around and doing nothing seems unlikely.

We have already seen a significant decline in ACC football that will probably continue and we have also see ACC basketball start to falter and now without its two name brand coaches meaning their biggest brands could decline.

What move the ACC makes (Big 12, PAC 12 poach, PAC 12 partnership, G5 add) is a complete unknown but doing nothing and just enjoying the remainder of the GOR essentially means they are content being Tier 2 and would be an absence of leadership.
