I cannot respect Wilner. He's a partisan hack who has an ax to grind. I'm glad you responded.

My Answer to Wilner's Attendance smack tweet. With a little more data, of course

“BamaCoug? This is Commissioner Yormark… how’d you like to hang up the lab coat and come work for the Big 12?”

Fix your typo on your spreadsheet though.

Done. Thanks!

You know that's all the haters would have focused on. Good stuff.

Why is Arkansas at #19 on the NCAA website listed twice?

Think it’s because they’ve traditionally played home games in both Little Rock…

One problem with utilizing teams that haven’t yet joined a conference

One other criticism

That’s one reason I only did the Google Trends data for 12 month period and then

Nice theory, but I don’t think it holds water because new teams are coming in

bluegaucho

It’s not just fan interest. It’s also final ranking

Medute

8/4/22 7:30am

For media rights value isn’t it all fan interest and market?

bluegaucho

8/4/22 7:34am

Like I said, they can’t all be good and ranked

Big12 Men's Basketball disagrees with your theory

Basketball is a completely different beast

OK, so PAC 12 got weaker when Utah and Colorado joined? Did Utah’s numbers

bluegaucho

Utah having success and getting ranked takes away from other teams

Medute

8/4/22 8:36am

This isn’t true at all. Fan interest is a perfect example of a game that is not “zero-sum”. Especially within the same

mvtoro

That’s distorting the numbers a bit

Medute

8/4/22 9:50am

You’re going to reference Utah’s attendance reporting and tell me in the same post that *I’m* distorting the numbers?

mvtoro

8/4/22 11:09am

You are spot on here, it isn't a zero sum situation and that's what isn't being

I understand your point and agree with the underlying assumption that success

I partially disagree...Utah got more popular IN Utah; people in Washington did

A valid point, but OU has dominated the Big12 for years except last year…

BamaCoug

8/4/22 10:29am

I didn’t say it would be bad

Medute

8/4/22 10:39am

Sure, we’re all biased, but this isn’t nearly as bad as what Wilner/Mandel/Canza

BamaCoug

8/4/22 10:52am

Did Utah's fan interest decrease when they went to the P12?

zonacougar

You just made a case against OU, TX, SC & UCLA leaving but that didn’t stop them

Lot of information for sure. Thanks!

Loved BYU sweeping their P12 games last year after Wilner predicting they go 0-5

Remember this, BamaCoug, when you get attacked by a journalist for being a dentist:

I’d be curious to see how the numbers shake out if…

Good work, as always. IMO text of this post needs to be added to followup tweet

But why are we still using the PAC's fake "attendance" numbers? We can't

Exactly. Utah at 101%? Laughable.
