Why does USF football get a pass in this? We both came up around the same time and have had very similar arcs:

USF
2001 indy 8-3
2002 indy 9-2
2003 CUSA 4-7
2004 CUSA 7-4
2005 Big East 6-6
2006 Big East 9-4
2007 Big East 9-4
2008 Big East 8-5
2009 Big East 8-5
2010 Big East 8-5
2011 Big East 5-7
2012 Big East 3-9
2013 AAC 2-10
2014 AAC 4-8
2015 AAC 8-5

UConn
2001 indy 2-9
2002 indy 6-6
2003 indy 9-3
2004 Big East 8-4
2005 Big East 5-6
2006 Big East 4-8
2007 Big East 9-4
2008 Big East 8-5

2013 AAC 3-9

So Nebraska's football program has struggled more since they got into the Big Ten, and they regret this because they need to get back into a 'better conference from top to bottom' so that they can...win more games than they are now?

Sure thing, Chris.

One thing to note on those numbers, that was a bad stretch for us and yet we are right there with likes of Houston and UCF, who are coming off their top years. One to chew on.

For every one of those teams it's strictly a function of what network they were on.
 
The Dude is about the worst troll in the world.

Say something dumb about Nebraska. Nobody reacts. WHY ISN'T anyone reacting to my ridiculous stance on Nebraska. Blah blah blah. I'm done responding on Nebraska I knew it would be unpopular.

He now knows the secrets of 'Nebraska'. Because a University is a sentient being which not only has secrets, a guy in West Virginia can tease them out.

Time Life probably has a whole series of books coming on this.

From a Big 12 board thread on CR....TV ratings in millions watching

Going back and adding up rating from the past three years 2013, 2014, and 2015 (including conference championship and bowl games) yields the following:

Navy = 41M
Boise = 39M
BYU = 39M
UCF = 31M
Houston = 25M
Army = 23M
Cincy= 22M
Northern Ill = 21M
East Carolina = 21M
Temple = 21M
UConn = 20M
Fresno = 19M
San Diego St = 14M
Memphis = 14M
USF = 13M
SMU = 13M
Tulsa = 12M

Tulane = 5M

Very simple explanation: Navy/Boise/BYU/UCF/UH have been good in 2013-15. Hence, more games on more visible networks (ESPN, ESPN2, etc). Adding up TV sets is not fair unless you add them up in an apples-to-apples manner. Case in point - look at the 3 games UConn played on ESPN/ESPN2 in 2015. All 3 match or are higher than the majority of G5 ratings on the same channels.

Both the MWC and AAC have games on CBSN. Which isn't even rated.

The AAC has a ton of games that are on ESPNU and ESPN News.... they get 100k for their best matchups.

I am curious is any media consultants have ever done a real analysis - it would be a ton of work and it would never be perfect. You have to correct for a dozen variables - including what is on every other station during each one of the games.

If the Boneyard can offer internship credit we'd need 3 kids for the summer majoring in math/actuarial sciences to get the right answer.

I would hope UH fans are embarrassed that they might Baylor their way in to the B12, but I guess not.

BUT no UCONN is the only school to ever have a few down years.

In addition to football record, football attendance is another category that it appears only UConn has struggled with in recent seasons. Cincinnati (Yes! That same Cincinnati that has been written in "ink" from the get-go) averaged 28K in 2014 season. They go to bowl games every year. UCF played in front of friends and family last year (winless seasons will that), Memphis uses curtains at home games and really only has sold tickets in the last 1-2 years (thanks to a NFL QB), and Houston has had their struggles selling tickets to the point that their football coach has pleaded with fans to buy tickets and they have to run a "HTownTakeover" campaign...in their own home market.

Yes, UConn football attendance has been down in recent years. We all know the reasons why. But it's not like all of our G5 competition draws well (exception: BYU). They are all in the same attendance sphere as UConn and they have all enjoyed recent winning seasons. Maybe UConn is held to a higher standard because we've already played BCS era football? Or maybe there is a bit of a double-standard used in national media when it comes to justifying their anti-UConn sentiment.

7 things I know – for sure – about Big 12 expansion

Not sure if this has been posted but at least I didn't make a new thread.

I was listening to Sirius this morning(not sure of it was a re-run)) with Braden Gall.
He thinks it should be Memphis,BYU, Cinci and Houston. He was actually good about Uconn and said he hopes we get into the ACC where we belong.

He had on Chad Scott from Gridiron now who was actually very good. He said people have it all wrong and that the biggest criteria is academics. Reiterated that the Presidents make these decision( I know I know Louisville). He recognized BYU and UConns academics as being much better than the others with Cinci being good also.

When asked who he thought would be invited he said Uconn ,Cinci(seemed like he was most sure about them) Houston and said BYU has a big problem with the other Presidents. The Mormon faith is a big issue and was not convinced they will get voted in. Said they would have been in the PAC 40 years already if not for their religion(Something to that affect).

Not sure he offered another school aside from BYU. He was pretty dismissive of Memphis, Boise and the Florida schools because of academic standards and history.

The article pasted is just something I found this morning and not the Sirius conversation.

Anyone that thinks BYU's academics impress people from the B12 has his head up his butt bigtime. Cincy is 10x the school that BYU is.

You're probably a a little bit right about this. The other "basketball schools" (Kansas, Kentucky, Duke, UNC, Arizona, Indiana, Syracuse, etc) are already grandfathered in the P5 - so nobody cares about their records or attendance struggles.

Hence his placement in "Non-Key Tweets"...

That's why they make the arrow down key... just skip them - but for most, its like you people on the highway when there is a tangled mess of cars, you slow down and look even though you may see something you may not want to see ;)

Problem is Dude's tweets get lumped into the same post with Flug's many times. Otherwise, in full agreement with you.

Why is UConn's president Susan Herbst talking up the University of Cincinnati (UC) academics. Shouldn't she be talking up UConn???
