Here is the explanation for BC's TV ratings.  Remember, TV ratings are driven by the school itself, the opponent, the time slot, time slot competition, and the broadcast network.

BC had 4 games that were rated and 8 games that were not.  The ones not rated were on the ACCN, SECN, CW, and ACCNX (streaming).  Here are the 4 games:

9/2 Labor Day at 7:30 PM @FSU on ESPN at 7:30 PM.  This is the prime Labor Day college football time slot against a popular opponent on one of the top networks, ESPN.  Viewers = 4.44 million.

10/17 Thursday night at Virginia Tech on ESPN at 7 PM.  The prime college football game on Thursday night against a name opponent on ESPN.  But, half of the game was up against an NFL game.  Viewers = 712k.

10/25 Friday night vs Louisville on ESPN2 at 7:30 PM.  Friday night marquee game against a solid opponent with limited football competition, but on ESPN2.  Viewers = 879k.

11/16 Saturday @SMU on ESPN at 3:30 PM.  Prime ESPN TV slot, but against stiff competition and this was the second lowest rated game in the slot by a large amount.  Viewers = 957k.

So, [U]64% of BC viewers in 2024 came on the Labor Day prime time game against FSU[/U].

With the new revenue share model, I would think ACC schools will be fighting for attractive opponents, good time slots, and main networks
