Is SMU really a better choice than Boise State?

It's about getting their teams in Texas for exposure and to spread out the TV time slots.

They do realize that literally no one in the Metroplex watches SMU right?

I mean, UNT has more fans than SMU

Why would they car about TV time slots when they are going all in

An 11 am kickoff in Dallas is better than a 9 am kickoff in Corvallis

At least in Dallas there might be some fans the might accidentally see Amazon

Does BS U deliver a new time zone? Does SMU? I think THAT is the difference.

Time zones only matter when you are on TV channels. Doesn’t matter with

Maybe they think getting SMU will also get them a TV deal?

Mister P

Time zones still matter. The value in Sports broadcasting is because they are LIVE events.

Yes if you can access it and maybe stumble upon it. Hard to do in a streaming.

2/8/23 9:03am

That is all true. And who is going to go searching for a Utah vs SMU match up?

Not substantially better, but at this point it's all banking on potential

Hawaii also has the coveted 1:00am ET kickoff timeslot.

MarylandFan

Noon Hawaii is 5 PM Eastern

OK, but ANY team the PAC adds will either play at an inopportune time or when SEC teams play

I'm just poking fun at their time zone, your points stand

SMU to the PAC is Houston to the B12.

Captain Stubing

2/8/23 8:58am

Except that Houston in the Big 12 is a geographic fit. SMU to PAC is not close

nephicoug

Right, good call out.

Captain Stubing

2/8/23 9:04am

I think even Vegas makes more sense than SMU

RC Vikings

Boise has a lower floor and SMU a higher ceiling. Either is a huge gamble.
