2024 College Football TV Ratings

The level of SEC butthurt stupidity in here is amazing.

I wasn't pimping the Big 10 by any means. I've clearly been comparing the P2 as the numbers show.

I clearly stated I expect the SEC per team payout to exceed the Big 10's payouts sooner rather than later. I CLEARLY stated that.

It's you SEC peeps that can't keep this topic on the level. You can't help yourselves from screaming "but SEC, SEC, SEC". :nutswinger:

If you don't like my analysis, then put me on ignore, or do some actual maffs yourselves to counter my point that "Broadcast TV" is ruling the viewership totals.

Do I need to say "Broadcast TV" yet again?
 
DUHHHH

If I included BTN numbers in the totals y'all would be crying because I didn't include the SECN numbers, which I don't have.

Therefore I omit both.

Cry s'more.
It's funny, I haven't attacked you. I haven't even argued with you. I asked some simple questions so I could try and understand your position. I really don't care. We are getting paid a ton, we have way higher viewership than you do (although I don't really care and am surrpised by it).

And you act like a petualent child. Why are you so pissy and can't actually debate things without going ballistic? Serious question ... why do you feel I am threatenting you?

FWIW, neither the SECN or the BTN are included in the numbers that have listed. But to exclude ESPN seems silly to me and designed to skew your argument. Maybe you are right ... maybe broadcast TV eyeballs are more valuable. But simple math and common sense tells you they aren't 100% more valuable such that you get to totally exclude them. Find out how much more valuable OTA eyeballs are and then apply a discount to the ESPN numbers. Even if it was 50% - I am confident it isn't - that would be put the two conferences on the same level.

But chill dude ... some of us just lije discussing and debating.

Grow the fuck up dude. Or put down the pipe. No one is butthurt but you.
 
I can read just fine, but you said:

The real money is in "Broadcast TV" and that's not even debatable.

Why is that so? I am open to debating it.

Apparently you can't.

The real money is in "Broadcast TV" because the more eyeballs on a given show the more it costs to advertise during said show.

Surely you know that media simplicity. :facepalm:

I'll try to keep it simple for you. Do you have any fucking clue how much it costs per minute to advertise during the Super Bowl, and why? DERRRRRR

I'm being an ass because you fucking SEC honks can't read, comprehend, or stay on topic.

It's constantly defensive butthurt.

I don't know that, which is why I asked you. I suspect that ESPN can charge some really high rates. So, as I asked before, what are the differences? You seem to think this is knowledge everyone has, so what are the rate differences? 2X, 10X, 50% more?

I assumed that advertisers on a CFB game on ESPN, Fox, CBS, ABC or whatever paid the same or close to the same rate. Seems to me, eyeballs are eyeballs. If someone watches an Aflack commercial on ESPN it would seem they would be just as likely to get Afflack than someone watching on CBS? Do CBS watchers pay more for Afflack?

And yet you keep saying things are obvious, duh, and can't tell me why OTA potential purchasers are more valuable than ESPN potential purchasers. Based on your post, they are so much more valuable, you get to simply ignore the tens of millions of ESPN viewers. See how that doesn't make sense? Let's say that OTA advertisers can charge 20% more than ESPN advertisers. Ok, if that is the case, count ESPN viewership at 80%. But I don't think it is accurate to just not count them at all, is it?

You really don't understand that per minute advertising rates for a Georgia/Texas game on ABC would be considerably higher than Boston College/Virginia Tech on ESPN?

REALLY? :facepalm:

Yeah, but that's because the Georgia Texas game will draw more numbers, while BC v. Va Tech won't. One is a premium game, the other isn't. It's why games that draw 4 million are considered the gold standard. But none of that answers the question as to why Georgia Texas on ESPN wouldn't also get better advert rates than BC v. Virginia Tech on CBS.

It's the number of eyeballs that is more important, not the broadcast medium so long as those mediums are the same. You are saying that OTA are better than ESPN. My question is why? And if they are, at what percentage. You are saying OTA is 100% valuable and ESPN has zero value. That doesn't seem right to me.
 
Congratulations. You got sucked in by the kiddie pool troll. :facepalm:
I mean that is literally what you are doing. The SEC clearly has larger viewer numbers than the B1G. You are saying the B1G has bigger viewership by simply totally eliminating one of the main broadcasters of SEC football. You aren't discounting it. You are simply eliminating it. You don't see how that isn't right?

What?

There wasn't even 10 million ESPN viewers TOTAL in Week 9.

Auburn/Missouri: 2.45 million (SEC)
Oklahoma St./BYU: 1.66 million (Big 12)
Notre Dame/Ga Tech: 1.59 million (ACC)
LSU/Arkansas: 1.36 million (SEC)
FSU/Duke: 1.26 million (ACC)
TCU/Utah: 912K (Big 12)
BC/Va Tech: 712K (ACC)

Are you under the impression the SEC gets the ACC and Big 12 ESPN viewership shares?

That's a whole nother level of SEC honk right there.

I'm done trying to explain the simplicity in viewership ratings to you that a 10 year old would understand.

Georgia/Texas was on ABC for a reason.
BC/Va Tech was on ESPN for a reason.

It's because Georgia/Texas was a marquee game and "Broadcast TV" gets more eyeballs. It's maximizing the number of available eyeballs. i.e. "Broadcast TV" is a free venue and therefore available to more people than ESPN.
Therefore to maximize viewership of Georgia/Texas it was put on "Broadcast TV" as opposed to ESPN.

Do I have to say "Broadcast TV" yet again?
 
FFS

Oklahoma St./BYU and Notre Dame/Ga Tech drew better numbers than LSU/Arkansas on ESPN.

If LSU/Arkansas would have been on ABC (i.e. Broadcast TV), that wouldn't have been the case. You can take that to the bank.

I'm not making up numbers. I'm using the very numbers that Sports Media Watch is providing.

Do I have to say "Broadcast TV" yet again?
