CU has rejoined the Big 12 and broken college football - talking out asses continues

Makes you realize it's not about how many people actually watch the games. It's the size of the market. The trend for cable is toward more subscription fee revenue and less ad revenue.

Ad Revenue Playing A Decreasing Role In Cable Network Revenue
Ad revenue is playing a decreasing role in ad revenue for cable networks, with most garnering the lion’s share of revenue from affiliate revenue (also known as license fees).

This has been the driver. but I'm surprised that the streaming model hasn't yet moved the revenue needle more toward quality of content and fan interest.Makes you realize it's not about how many people actually watch the games.

No question-I mean I still pay whatever the subscriber fee for BTN is even though I only use it when I know Nebraska is losing.Makes you realize it's not about how many people actually watch the games.

So you do get a lot of use out of it.
The decision to have the Pac12 Network wholly operated, owned and without partners to bundle with was Larry Scotts biggest mistake. Had he not done that one thing this thread probably and a dozen others wouldnt exist.

Yeah about that... the first step to combatting addiction is admitting you have a problem. We're all worried about the amount of time you've spent watching the BTN network these last 5 years. It's like you've lost yourself, totally absorbed... trust us, we all understand, but there are other parts of life that need your attention and care, not just the BTN.

I'm gonna start looking at the win totals next week. Staying off CU, but I'm definitely going over on Oklahoma (I think their total's 9) and under on the Nubs (as all of you should).And Sparty betting.
I saw an opening line of Oregon +17.5 at Georgia......That's interesting to say the least.
Short, concise, witty. Give this man some likes!

Georgia's going to pound them. I think Lanning is a good coach for Oregon, but there's a reason why that team got nuked by Utah twice in three weeks last year.

The Answer?
I just caught the last 1:30 of the Women's Football Alliance championship game. The highlights looked like good line play and running backs - the passing games were weak, because the women throw like girls.
What better place in the US, than Boulder, for the 1st NCAA women's football team. So many great opportunites: 1st team, league and, hopefully, 1st national champions.
Go Buffs.

As if the Fuskers wouldn’t jump all over this first. They would invent some bs streak and be even more obnoxious about it. Given the sheer number of burly women in Nebraska, we wouldn’t stand a chance.
It's not going to happen for either of us, but CO has a much bigger Big Ten alumni base, plus just a larger population/ TV market period.
Pretty sure no one cares about us being a "bridge" though.
So why exactly would Fox or ESPN not be interested in adding Seattle, Phoenix and Denver to one of the power leagues? You’d have to think by that logic we would add more value in objective terms than half the league.
That is a good point. You'd think that Denver would be better than those all important Des Moines and Lansing markets.
Because they don’t get 15x payout increases and it reduces the per school payout.
Maybe, I'm not saying it would be us getting in from the West, but I just find it hard to believe ESPN and Fox thinks its a good idea for USC/UCLA to be the only major CFB schools in their power leagues that are west of Austin. I dunno, maybe they have metrics that say that's all they need, but it seems dubious on its face. The NFL only has 32 teams, but those teams are well distributed to capture most of the major media markets and geographic regions of the country (with ironically some of the least representation in the Southeast). Outside of a few gaps I would assume the NFL franchise locations map pretty closely to the top 30 DMAs
This is where the sport is really screwed by the lack of any sort of governance where its just every conference out for themselves. I think we tend to attribute all these Machiavellian moves by the networks, but it may be they truly are just telling the conferences add X get Y, and we've ended up here because there is no long term plan.

I don't. Alpha implies action, e.g., the alpha wolf eats first. It should only be used as a derivation because, as humans, our "alphaness" depends on the situation, ie, the "alpha" junior executive could get mogged by a pro athlete but a complete nobody could pwn both given the right situation
I am bro
If teams can grow conference pools by major amounts and not dilute money, they’ll have a seat in expansion talks.

It's not a matter of the state of Colorado and the Denver metro bringing more value than half the B1G programs. They do.
The issue is CU doesn't bring so much value that we're worth more than the current annual payout per member X 17.
