Message: [QUOTE="Dizzy21, post: 4333175, member: 4464"] You have that backwards. The whole project is to determine the fanbase to maximize eyeballs. You are using the dependent variable to attempt to determine the independent variable. The goal of the fanbase sizes study was to determine which teams to put in the top slots for TV that would have the highest fanbase, thus maximizing eyeballs. By simply looking at eyeballs you would be taking teams that have previously been in the best time slots on the best networks and counting in order to determine who should be in the best slots on the best networks. Never mind the fact that looking at it that way would have expanded Cincinnati's "fanbase" something like 5 to 10 fold this year from last, which no one would say is anywhere near accurate. [/QUOTE]
