They're all saying they want later games for more exposure nationally

They're saying the early time zones are too saturated with games and hard to compete. People tend to watch TV later on Saturdays too. Big 12 contracted to do later games, 8:30 pm to be one of the better games in the time slot.

If B12 does not pick BYU, maybe here's why?

The problem with that is

There's plenty of other reasons we might get left out without having to make up

I thought manatees came in one size only: huge

I lived a few miles away from Rutgers when they were briefly in the top 10

Exactly also more and more of the population is moving westward.

yeah everyone says it's saturated. ESPN and NFL prime time games is 7pst 10 est

TNT is not certain that the BOT unanimously wants to be involved

Is that after the US annexes Mexico and Canada?

Why? It is a real data point.

Any old school in the eastern time zone doesn't necessarily bring viewers. Dumb

Ad nauseum

5/3/16 1:27pm

That is true. It doesn't make pointing out the populations "dumb."

Looking at what's available in that time zone does, though

For a normal mountain time zone team this might be relevant, but with BYU

That is why only a few years ago it was OK to join the PAC10!

Times have changed and it is a very valid data point.

The BYU TV market isn't the SLC media market

Indy Coug

Exactly we have pockets in the pacific time zones which could put us in later

monkeycowboy

Times are a changing indeed.

How saturated is it with Power 5 teams? I would think less competition would be

And 80% of our alumni are in the Mountain and Pacific time zones.

So now it is because of time zone population

Where are the 64 P5 teams located?

The other side of that argument is game times

Only 1/2 of BYU students come from mountain time zone states=national footprint

Another thing about the zone that is not represented and this applies to HI and

I think Utah is under recruited and some big cities like San Diego are over

Way too simplistic. Ever seen the population around Ames, Iowa?

Real Men Wear Blue

5/3/16 5:33pm

There are millions and I mean millions

Ames is basically greater Des Moines (600K), not that small
