Only ACC is a match. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 48m48 minutes ago @tjwhite18 @CCMelillo @flugempire [USER=61]@junglehusky[/USER] @Flyguy14 @ctkevb @NoEscalators Redundant as in RU is already in market. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 39m39 minutes ago @tjwhite18 UCONN isn't on the B1G's radar. That's just a fact. UCONN however is on the ACC radar. [B]Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire[/B] @theDudeofWV @tjwhite18 This is a point where Chris and I disagree. UCONN is on B1G radar...just not a right fit in timing and in profile.. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B]· 29m29 minutes ago @flugempire @tjwhite18 I know with a high degree of certainty they are not. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 29m29 minutes ago @flugempire @tjwhite18 Why because they could not meet the minimum value added equation. Add them would reduce revenues for the B1G. [B]Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire [/B] · 29m29 minutes ago @theDudeofWV @tjwhite18 ...at this point and time..but getting closer. UCONN DMA has enough local juice and its brand carriers weight in BTN [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 28m28 minutes ago @flugempire @tjwhite18 There isn't any way UCONN could generate enough value to merit B1G inclusion. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B]· 27m27 minutes ago @flugempire @tjwhite18 Remember the standard is around $40m per year in revenue generation.... [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 27m27 minutes ago @flugempire @tjwhite18 Look at the DMA map.... UCONN doesn't come close to adding enough value. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B]· 26m26 minutes ago @flugempire @tjwhite18 However UCONN could add value to the ACCN. Rather than pin your hopes on unicorns keep an eye on that... [B]Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire[/B] · 26m26 minutes ago @theDudeofWV @tjwhite18 Adding UCONN would not reduce REV for Big 10 in the long run...it would increase them. AD dollars in CT /good stuff [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV [/B] · 25m25 minutes ago @flugempire @tjwhite18 Greg... I disagree... the people I talk to disagree... show me how UCONN generates that value. [B]Christopher Lambert ‏@theDudeofWV[/B] · 32m32 minutes ago @flugempire @tjwhite18 UCONN's football program would drag down B1G SoS. Their home market isn't large enough to offset revenue sharing.

UCONN's value is primarily basketball. [B]Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire[/B] @theDudeofWV Check the attendence figures for B1G basketball...>>>>>> vs SEC/Big 12/ACC. Check BTN articles on ratings breaking old records [B]Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire[/B] @theDudeofWV Bssketball value <<<< no doubt vs FB. But in B1G BTN model the spikes (mountain-valley) between FB & BB not as pronounced. [B]Greg Flugaur ‏@flugempire[/B] @theDudeofWV Does UCONN help fuel more Midwestern loving basketball watchers/consumers to get their eyeballs on BTN. Answer is yes [/QUOTE]
