They aren't that interesting to me and I live in Utah

So coveted that BYU was eager to give them up by joining Big XII

I believe BYU will still be filling that time a lot in the B12.

Refugee

At least the majority of their road games will be in central and eastern time

Of course, but by saying it is coveted implies ESPN will pay big bucks for teams

Y05

Credible rumors said ESPN helped keep BYU from B12 to keep that slot cost low.

I haven't seen those. You got any links?

It absolutely is if you are on ESPN

Blue Cat

This means teams want ESPN not the late night time slot.Not the same as networks valuing the late time slot games highly

Not entirely.

Blue Cat

Not me. Fox has had way better broadcast quality for a few years now.

But you don’t watch FS1 or FS2

You need to think about how many viewers alternative programming would bring in

Doesn’t the USC/UCLA move to B1G and BYU to BIG12 create more competition?

The_Cuss

8/10/22 7:53am

Reportedly there will be no B1G after dark

CaliWG

8/10/22 8:31am

That's going to be the very interesting things in how many of those games get put on late

krindorr

8/10/22 8:32am

Agreed, but we have to be careful throwing around the word premium

krindorr

8/10/22 8:28am

Absolutely

CaliWG

8/10/22 8:32am

Exactly, well said!

The_Cuss

8/10/22 11:28am

Can anyone provide a TLDR?

MojosDojo

8/10/22 7:45am

Late-night time slots do not command a premium. If you’re not on Network TV or

If late night games were so important, more schools would do them.

Utah fan reading Utah’s performance:

8/10/22 7:55am

Honestly pretty solid analysis

krindorr

8/10/22 8:24am

I took straight average viewership; would be interesting to look at SD

moknowssports

8/10/22 8:49am

Yeah, I definitely want to get multiple years of data with average/median/SD

krindorr

8/10/22 8:53am

Sportsmediawatch.com has data back through 2012 but...that's a lot!

moknowssports

8/10/22 9:00am

Utah doesn't have a large fanbase though. Average numbers are expected. The selling point for Utah

TFL

I think the point is: blue bloods and highly ranked teams get the slots that

moknowssports

8/10/22 12:51pm

What is the delta between Utah vs. Oregon and Oregon vs. those other schools though?

TFL

8/10/22 12:58pm

Oregon's viewership for every game in the last 3 years

krindorr

8/10/22 1:29pm

The Washington game is the only other 2021 game that had the ABC Primetime slot

moknowssports

8/10/22 1:59pm

That's fair; I think there's a few narratives that have gotten out of hand

krindorr

8/10/22 2:25pm

Agreed; B12 is big unknown in my mind for the sole reason that OU has dominated

moknowssports

8/10/22 2:52pm

On your last sentence, Utah does have tremendous value

TFL

8/10/22 4:51pm

Wow. Impressive work man.

TFL

8/10/22 2:08pm

I already have the data for every PAC, Big 12, and SEC game for the last 5 years

krindorr

8/10/22 2:15pm

Those numbers are more favorable than they look

Amazing analysis. And posting it at 2AM?
