Interesting this is less than last year for them

It's likely a function of timeslot/network. Keep in mind the CBSSN and ESPNU viewership would've brought that average from last year down, even omitting both FCS games on ESPN+

Yeah so much of rating is variable.. opponent, time, network, other games, day of the week, etc. Just interesting to compare none the less

As noted above, hard to draw conclusions from one data point. Game was on FS1 and up against Mizzou-Fla (which would split KC audience) and Tx-ISU (another conference game).

Not a great data point to be sure.I

It’s an incredible data point. It illustrates the true size of the Kansi fanbases.

No offense but it’s not like Mizzou fans would have been watching the Kansas game if theirs wasn’t on.

By “not great” I was agreeing with you, to some extent.

There surely are KC residents who are interested in both MO and KS teams.

While not a direct comparison, I’m sure a UConn game would take a ratings hit if it were up against a Yankees-Red Sox game.

Well, two of three major schools in the area were playing eachother. So that is roughly 2/3rds of the market focused on one game.

There really isn’t much crossover between Mizzou and KU. Maybe unless they are hate watching.
 
If the ACC implodes, I predict the following. I think a new league will form with the ACC minnows and others with similar academic missions that are OK with taking a step down in football to "G5" status but strong enough to compete for basketball/other national championships. I hope UConn would be a part of that and convince some of their Big East brethren that this is the wave of the future so they better jump on board. I think the days of the Big East being a power conference in basketball are numbered.

FSU - SEC
Louisville - Big 12
NC State- Big 12
UNC - B1G
Clemson - SEC
GA Tech - B1G (Assuming B1G wants a presence in the dominant market in SEC land)
VT- Big 12
Duke - New league
Wake- New league
UVA- B1G
Pitt - B12
BC - New league
Miami - New league (Better institutional fit. Their football brand is old and crusty)
Syracuse - New league
Cal - New league (B1G already has UCLA and likely doesn't want them. Unless...)
Stanford - New league (If B1G wants Bay Area presence, maybe then with Cal)
SMU - New league

And if there is a contractionary purge coming from the B1G and the SEC, then Northwestern and Vandy could fit into the "new league" nicely.

ACC schools who see the writing on the wall and aren't getting into the SEC/B1G very well might. Pitt, Louisville definitely would

Why? There’s no school left in the Big XII that could sniff the playoff. You’ve got two SEC, two B1G and the runner ups were ACC and SEC again.

Story I read said FSU was left out because the starting QB got hurt then the backup got hurt. So they expected FSU wouldn’t be competitive without them.

It won't be a new league. They'll keep the ACC assets and moniker like what OSU and WSU are doing. But yes this seems reasonable. Maybe Miami gets a lifeline and maybe Georgia Tech gets stuck. Gotta wonder if Cal and Stanford would go back to a merged PAC/MWC once the rest of the ACC bails.
