tough schedule - more money?

**twistedredbird** · 10-25-2010, 11:56 AM

I am guessing our TV revenue share will be up some this year. Given our tough schedule, we have had a lot of national televised games. Just speculating, don't know facts, but that would be a nice boost. We have had 7 of 8 games on national TV, and with Nebby and Mizzou left, I'm guessing that will be 9 of 12.

Not so much. FCS games get us no money, nor do Mediacom games.

The ony Mediacom game was UNI. All of the other games were FBS and nationally televised.

Haven't we had a couple of FCS games? Those don't make us money.

So which games were on FCS and which were on FSN? I know the OU, KSU, and UT game were on FSN. I don't know what channel the home games were on as I was there in person. Also was at the Iowa game and can't remember that one, but I know it was NOT FCS.

Texas Tech and Utah were on FCS.

NIU, K-STATE, Oklahoma, Texas -- FSN
Iowa - ABC
--------
Tech, Utah - FCS
UNI - Mediacom

5 of 8 games on networks that pay.

Utah and TT were FCS. iowa was ABC/ESPN2

Last year we had
ABC
OSU

FSN
iowa
Nebraska

Versus
Kansas

FCS
Kansas St

NFL
Minny

This year we have had

ABC/ESPN 2
iowa

FSN
NIU
Oklahoma
Texas

Versus
None

FCS
Utah
Texas Tech

Mediacom
UNI

I would guess revenue would be up due to one extra game on FSN unstead of Versus. keep in mind the season is not over. WE could almost guarantee the Nebbie and missouri games will be on and if ISU is fighting for bowl eligibility, the CU game should be on as well.

Got it - I was confusing FCS the TV station with FCS the football division. I'm not familiar with the rules about what counts, but why don't the FCS games count?

So what is a FSN game worth anyway? You would think the ESPN/ABC game was a nice payday as that is about as high-profile a broadcast as you can get unless your name is Notre Dame.

winning = more butts in seats
winning = more future TV Exposure
schedule more non conference cup cakes to boost that winning %, at least in the short run till we have the horses to compete with anyone week in and week out.
Hopefully it won't matter, but Utah could be the difference in a bowl game this year - just think with Directional State in its place, we would be playing for bowl eligibility vs KU!

Probably because only 1% of the nation gets that channel, so they don't make enough advertising money to pay the teams and still make a profit. That's my guess.
