Sports media Watch has the data. I’m sorry I can’t get the link to work. But this has been pretty consistent. New Big East simply doesn’t bring eyeballs like the B10, ACC or Big 12. And most years it is also behind the AAC and a couple of mid-majors. Whether it’s the time slot, the platform or the teams, it doesn’t really matter. It isn’t a huge product.

Big Ten an exception as conference title games rebound
Outside of the Big Ten, ratings for the major college basketball conference title games rebounded significantly during championship week.
You are wrong about the football records between 2007 and 2012. Louisville won 7 games in 2011, not 9 and UConn had 4 straight winning seasons before the PP debacle in 2011 and 2012 and 2 Big East championships. Here are the facts:
Games broadcast on FS1 and FS2 are going to have spoiler audiences then games broadcast on ESPN, or CBS. I do think that the game‘s broadcast that Fox do well. And certainly the games are on FS1 and FS2 have larger audiences than games broadcast on ESPN plus.
All of that may be true, but this was the Conference Championship game and it had more in person viewers than it had tv viewers. (Before all the NOOBIE fan boys get their panties in a bunch, it is a figure of speech, not a fact). It wasn’t on FS1 or FS2. It was on Fox. And it got absolutely crushed by 4 of the P5 and beaten by the weakest one. It drew weaker ratings than the AAC which everyone here loves to denigrate. It was essentially a push with the A10, which NOOB fans consider well beneath this league.
Do you have a link for any of that?
The link for the championship games was previously posted. The results are pretty clear. Big 10 numbers were way down this year and it still was 3 times the NOOBIE, which was way up. The weekly data is available during the season on the Neilson website. I guess if your definition of doing well is having worse ratings than the Mountain West and the AAC and getting crushed by the Big 10, ACC, Big 12 and SEC, then you are right.
Yeah, I’m too lazy to go hunting for data to back up your claims, but if you post it I’ll look at it. Up to you. Scooter, I don’t mind your act all that much, but you don’t have the greatest reputation for accuracy.
Ha… no… I grew up in New Britain
Well here is some. Fox ranked 3rd behind CBS and ESPN. FS1 was behind ESPN2 and BTN. But it kicked ESPNU’s butt. Not gonna bother going week by week. You’ll just pretend 885,000> 1,250,000 or deny it happened.Yeah, I’m too lazy to go hunting for data to back up your claims, but if you post it I’ll look at it. Up to you.

College basketball ratings return to pre-pandemic levels
The college basketball regular season saw healthy viewership rebounds for national networks compared to the COVID-wracked 2020-21 season, returning to levels seen right before the pandemic. CBS led the way with an average of 1.25 million viewers, up 5% from 1.19 million viewers last season. That...
Oh, and for the 3rd or 4th time look at the link previously posted about conference championship games. If you don‘t understand it I’m sure someone can explain it. But essentially, the higher the number, the better. So the B10 with 2.39 and over 2 million viewers out performed the NOOBIE with 1.22. So did the ACC, the B12, the PAC, the Mountain West, the AAC, and the SEC. Because, you see, they had more people watching.
More likely to be Big XII schools. There's more money in the leftover Pac-12 schools + the top of the Big XII than in the reverse scenario (Big XII + some/all leftover Pac-12)
Yeah, I saw that and I thought it was laughable.
