Non-Key Tweets

I would argue that Uconn bring CT and that Cincinatti bring Cincinatti. Ohio has 4x the population of CT so I would say its a wash.

Oh this again. Starwood falls off the list later this year. Xerox has very few employees in Norwalk. Same with Charter, less than 200. Overall, CT is no longer a real star in the corporate HQ world. And more to the point we don't have great involvement between UConn and these businesses, but I do have confidence Herbst is working on that.

Damn straight this again. Every other candidate is making throwing everything but the kitchen sink out there. We should tout our equivalent (superior) metrics.

Sorry, sometimes I think we could all use a little splash of cold water reality. Cincy and UConn are probably on even corporate footing. Okay, I'll stop. :)

I think you are under selling us and over selling Cinci, but truth be told, I haven't checked.

I think we can do better than that. Connecticut has about 75% more people than the Cincinnati metro area, and Connecticut residents are much more affluent than Cincinnati residents.

This whole debate is kinda silly but here's actual numbers.

Connecticut is 5,543 square miles. It has 18 fortune 500 companies.
Ohio is 44,825 square miles. It has 27 fortune 500 companies.
Cincinnati is 80 square miles. It has 10 fortune 500 companies.

Analyze whatever you want out of that.

The ACC isn't shut out of NYC. They have Syracuse. They also just got a great new media deal without UConn. They're not inviting us. They don't need us.

I think you are wrong here.

Unlike the Big 10 and Rutgers, the ACC should not get an in-market rate for NYC as Syracuse is not part of the NYC TV market. The actual Syracuse TV market is very small, so an ACC Network may only have a small in-market footprint in NY state. Maybe the ACC can push into adjacent TV markets like Buffalo and Albany and push for in-market rates there, but that is unclear. Obviously, all of NY would probably get an ACC Network, but mostly at the out of market rate. Delaney of the Big 10 understood media markets, which is why he grabbed Rutgers and Maryland and caught the ACC flat footed. As we all now know, Rutgers was the golden goose of conference networks.

If the ACC wanted to push for an in-market rate in NYC, or at least a higher out-of-market rate, they would probably need UConn. So, yes, UConn would be a valuable asset for an ACC Network. In fact, having UConn in the ACC might also get a higher rate in most of New England.

I believe this is an interesting time for UConn, the Big 10, and the ACC. UConn with Rutgers and Penn St would mean NYC is clearly a Big 10 market. The ACC with Syracuse, UConn, and Notre Dame would have a strong foothold in NYC. Seems logical that something should happen.

Oh god, really - you don't know the difference between MSAs, City Limits and DMAs? I'm going to assume you do ...and lets steer this back to Non Key CRA nonsense.:rolleyes:

If you want to be honest about it, you should include:
Giants
Patriots
Yankees
Red Sox
Knicks
Bruins
Jets

and that doesn't include the NHL teams.

Ideally, we both get invites to the B12 and none of it matters.

Kind of a wash....that is just a statement of figures. I'm just saying this whole idea of F500 companies is just a wash. It probably doesn't go either way. The 4x population had nothing to do with population metrics it had to do with comparing the # of F500 companies per Capita. Get your panties out of a bunch man....christ almighty.

Well the the 3.5 million in Connecticut doesn't include the 11.5 M plus in the surrounding areas either.

If you are going to include the 11.5 million from NYC, then you have to include all the NYC teams.

Yes, let's pretend like those teams have no impact in CT's media market. Between the population and the physical location of the stadium, You're trying to frame the argument into a very narrow mindset that results in a favorable, but entirely false narrative.

What about the major league franchises who don't play in the city (or even state) that have their namesake. Redskins, Cowboys, 49ers, Giants, Jets...?

Do they not factor into the media markets in DC, Dallas, San Francisco, or NYC?

Well I do remember that Met's couldn't get their network in Connecticut after years of trying but once they UConn Woman's Basketball on it, it was all over the state in a matter of months.

So there's that...
