    ESPN Out for B1G TV Rights

    I just caught a general comment about streaming channels. It appears that cord cutting is now affecting the multitude of streaming channels. People are tiring of having to pay for multiple streaming channels up to a cost similar to satellite/cable. A recent survey now shows that people are...

    ESPN Out for B1G TV Rights

    I recommend reading the article, as it discusses in depth the analysis that uses Neilson Ratings and other data from 2015 through 2019 (2020 & 21 are excluded due to Covid). It excludes all PAC network game data.

    ESPN Out for B1G TV Rights

    As I keep saying "Go Big or Go Home!" Merge the B12 and PAC and go after the P2 as we will be the first Mega Conference. With the new broadcast players there is enough money to go around.

    ESPN Out for B1G TV Rights

    Viewership chart from The Athletic, July 25 by Stewart Mandel. I note that there about a dozen sites with differing viewership numbers. Pick the one you want, none is probably accurate as some will exclude/include non-conference, or play off, or bowl numbers, And, who is to say the...

    ESPN Out for B1G TV Rights

    Sorry, here is the whole list of Football viewership for B12 and P12. This shows that the B12 is in the bottom of the list. It does not include our new 4 teams, as they did not have the broadcast coverage we had. TEAM VIEWERS Oregon 1.96 million Stanford 1.83 million Washington 1.73...

    ESPN Out for B1G TV Rights

    If tv viewers is what they want note the viewer totals for the B12 and P12: 6 of the remaining P12 teams have higher viewer numbers than the first B12 team. Their weakness has been little TV exposure away from the west coast. As I have said before "Go big or go home" . A merger of the two...

    Big 12 Expansion (New New Thread)

    Looking at the national broadcast numbers, the PAC has many teams higher than the new B12. Their problem from an ESPN view is that the PAC is a regional conference with little cross country viewership (sponsor $). So, bringing any of their teams into the B12 would increase these team's...

    Big 12 Expansion (New New Thread)

    As others have said, the 4 team short term play is probably the most probable. Colorado is sentimental. Utah has the second highest FB viewership of the remaining PAC10 at about 1M. The two Arizona combine with one having 740,000 FB viewers and the other a basketball powerhouse. The best...

    Big 12 Expansion (New New Thread)

    The Last "New Thread" lasted 10 months and resulted in many many too many comments covering too much time. So here is a New New Thread to focus on the second conference alignment upheaval in a short year. So, My opinion is: PAC - take them all, take some, go after other east coast teams, or...

    Pitch an idea to new B12 Commish ITT

    Sorry detailed this in another string: Go Big or Go Home! Merge with PAC and add two more teams from the east to create the first Mega Conference. Call it say the Midwest Coastal League. 24 teams. Four 6 team divisions, or three 8 team divisions. Offer cross country games to give the coastal...

    Stadium construction ...

    Hey....The last time I heard, Kansas was still in the B12. The $ payout to ISU is partially based on attendance at KU football games and the TV income that comes from their games. I agree that their existing stadium has been a laughing stock in the conference, so a new one will help us all. It...

    Big 12 Spring Meetings Summary

    I would add that with a Mega Conference you would play no non-conference games and keep all of the revenue in-house. Anyway, the networks are not interested in broadcasting games against NW Nobody State, Wyoming Drover University, or the Minnesota Fly-Fishing Academy. So you build up your...

    Big 12 Spring Meetings Summary

    I think that it will be either a Super 16 conference (AZ, AZSt, Utah, & Colo) or go Mega 24 by merging them all in and adding 2 more on the east coast for 24, and make four 6 team regions. Flood the traditional broadcast partners and add 4-5 streaming partners (Amazon Prime, Peacock...

    Big 12 Expansion (new thread)

    Where or where has the little REGISTER gone. The only article has been one copied from the Arizona Republic newspaper. Shame Shame Shame.

    Big 12 Expansion (new thread)

    How quickly things change. I started this thread last fall when we thought we knew what was going on, but apparently didn't. Now we have re-established the B12, and see that the B10 wants to be the first coast to coast conference. This should produce some interesting travel schedules, and might...
