BYU played Baylor and Oregon.
Oregon played Georgia and BYU

overall or in a specific sport? Include Olympic sports?

Has to be about football.

On Field, or "on screen"

Has to be as a business partner, in the context of conference realignment, no?

The problem with the Pac-10 is that the whole conference is dead weight, except

depends on how you define dead weight. Washington state pulls better tv than BYU

Does that statement control for the opponents, network, and time slots, or

It's well documented on this board. WSU clearly out draws BYU in football.

*TV ratings.. not attendance. That's why I asked to define "dead weight"

flyzag

I can't find anything. Link?

Google is your friend. Here are some links

That data is fine for measuring how many people have watched certain teams play

Japan Coug

I don't think anybody is arguing that WSU is a bigger TV draw than USC, UO, or

flyzag

I guess what I'm saying is I'm not so sure they are a pretty good draw for TV

Japan Coug

3/21/23 5:22pm

But that’s not what the data says. You can research it. I don’t need to convince

flyzag

3/21/23 9:52pm

I haven’t seen any data indicating that they are a big TV draw on their own. If

Well then:

Who were the other two games against, and on what networks and at what time?

You're completely missing the point. Again. Nobody is saying Wazzu is bigger

flyzag

Well, there’s a good chance they they’ll end up in a G5 conference if the PAC

It's frankly impossible to control for everything, but most efforts do put Wazzu ahead

The problem is that if you don't control for some of those things, to some

That's fair...but then the reverse also applies

OK, but I think BYU is in a higher tier than you think we are, if this is meant

Japan Coug

A few issues there

Looking just at football last year it has to be either the P12 or the ACC

define "dead weight" is it on field performance? Attendance? TV ratings? They

flyzag

This is true. Poll question didn't specify. This is strictly base off of

Purdue, Indiana, northwestern, Minnesota Rutgers, Maryland

Rutgers and Maryland. Illinois is more dead weight than any other school you

Pac 12’s deadweight is the teams CB wants to add to the Big 12

GlutealGuy

Strategically, I think many feel it's worth adding some dead weight to destroy
