Realignment Megathread (All The Moves)
- Thread starter ISUcyclones11
- Start date
That's your opinion somewhere in this mess of a thread there was a bunch of numbers about MBB because the Fb season ends in January
Was thinking about this earlier. The WC writers and PAC10(-2) sources will be writing fluffer pieces up to Friday. There in full PR mode get the ESPN offer up by the end of the week to save the PAC12.
I wish I could like this post 1000 times, perfect analogy.
What I am getting out of this is that the "outlet" (channel and time slot) drives 80% of the resultant viewer numbers, and the actual team is 20%.
So ESPN at 10:30pm with no competition gets 1.5M viewers. Because it's the ONLY option for the degenerate gamblers and west coast CFB fans at that time.
But FS1 at 2:30, up against ESPN, CBS, FOX, and ABC... less than 1M viewers. If you traded the teams on FS1 with the teams on ABC, how much would the resulting viewer numbers change? 20% feels about right, unless you are doing something extreme like switching Bama/TAMU with TT/KSU.
This all screams for a linear regression. Does anyone have a link to individual game viewer number data with channel, time, teams, etc?

Right? My main read on Stew's numbers is that sports writers aren't great data analysts, and he should make his raw numbers available for others to compare his results. This article need peer review.
BYU is in the late window time zone. Little to no competition in that window.
BYU versus Iowa St is a lot more appealing than ASU versus Washington St. Hardly anyone cares about football in the PAC.
I think one thing we don't really talk about on here is that while the number of viewers is important, how much are advertisers going to pay for those ad spots? I would assume the mid day and prime time games are more valuable than those 10:30 pm games because people are more focused during the earlier games. By 10:30, while the viewers may be inflated because its the only sports related game going on at that time at night, how many people are actively watching it? I would bet advertisers have data on which time slots drive more sales/attention to their product and thus, how much they are willing to spend.
Its mostly football. BBall has some weight. Otherwise no one would be talking about teams like Kansas, Arizona, Duke. Media will pay something to have them due to their basketball content.
Oh ****. If those #s don't include that then it's absolutely a silly comparison
Ummm no one is talking about kansas, arizona, or duke as good options because sadly the basketball means almost nothing.
Looks like they all shared their homework assignment this weekend. Sorry, you're going to have to do it again because you all copied from each other.
Pin these somewhere for when it all hits the fan soon.
Holy ****, they have thier propaganda outlined and thier talking points in line quickly! They must have both watched Tucker last night!
So Vince McMahon steps down from WWE.
NBC is in bed with WWE since they have the network on the C*ck and a long term history going back to the 80s.
Maybe NBC shoots the wad in ND and wrestling. Big 12 loses a potential revenue stream.

However I do think “almost” is important here, because - along with a status jump for playing offense, and trying to push the Pac-12 lower in the pecking order if not outright destroy the conference - Arizona’s basketball quality is a factor in Big 12 interest.
The Big 12 is not going to be on the level of the B1G or SEC in football, over time, with the huge money gap. But it could remain a top hoops league even after those other conferences far surpass it in revenue.
Even if adding Arizona is purely revenue neutral, those factors make them a take for the Big 12 in my view.
How long did that bump last? The season started with a 2-2 thud, including being terrible against UNI in the win. The expectations and excitement took a big hit after the poor start. Sure, there were few teams with higher expectations, but starting week 2 and carrying through most of the season there weren’t many teams that had those expectations crushed out of the gates like ISU did.
