Meh… BB just isn’t a big draw even with good teams/ranked opponents. Outside of
… games like UNC/Duke or when Louisville and Kentucky are both good and play, there just aren’t great ratings during the regular season that move the needle.
March madness is pretty strong though…

Finally chiming in on TV ratings. Kudos to Krindorr for gathering..

Solid assessment

Agree that BYU being a top showing IS NOT GOOD for the conference

Honestly, there's no competing with the B1G/SEC with viewership at this point...

Over half of TCU's number was the CU game, correct?

Not over half, but about 43%

It blows me away that BYU was that close to Utah

We had a game on ESPN+. As in 1. They had, what, 4 or 5 on the P12 network?

Which speaks to how the networks view Utes' TV draw on their own. They don't put

Yup, Utah was consistently around the middle of the PAC in PAC12 Network appearances

BYU had 11 games on Fox or ESPN/ABC platforms; Utah had 7.

I don't see that as Utah having "superior" viewership though. It's more a factor

100% - this is a factor that people don't seem to understand

PAC 12 network did that for them. Ha-ha.

Yep. USC/UW/Oregon weren't on Pac12N much, but Utes were on it a lot. Why?...

The main driver for viewings is brand. BYU will never be real high nor real low

Utah does not have a better brand than BYU…

We’ll see how Utah draws without Oregon, Washington, USC, and UCLA on schedule.

The worst Utah drew in any game was 1.3M; no need to bury our heads in the sand and pretend nobody watches

Ohhhhh, 1.3? Move over Alabama!!!
