The downside:
This does make us look more attractive to ESPN. Too much so for a late night game slot. They're going to want to always put us at later slots if they can.

Wow that’s really surprising but awesome. Even more glad we won.

Not bad for a 10:45 start.

Just think what an earlier start would have drawn.

Less. Because people would have been watching other games.

Late night games with less competition, and Primtime in the west coast. Lots of bars are tuning in.

Does Nielsen measure viewership at bars?

Nielsen at least in part takes numbers using a pager like system and recording samples of what pop watches

Does each bar only count as one?

I learned from Anchorman that households with more than one tv only count as one

I was thinking 800K. 1.3M shows that BYU can still attract eyeballs

They were watching a Heisman Trophy candidate too.

That was a national broadcast on NBC, it wasn't cable. And yes almost 5 times the viewers.

I'd gladly play in that slot for a few million more per year.

That's our sales pitch. We should be happy to play to our strengths and apply any leverage we have

For the east coast it's awful. A 7pm (Eastern) start would be great though

I’m okay with this. We shouldn’t expect Notre Dame style treatment.

BYU has twice as many fans so the makes sense

This is part of why I won't watch yewt games - Don't want to boost ratings 😉

I think separating cable from OTA in ratings comparisons is the norm.
