Interesting tweet on the Black Friday game viewership

[ambienknights]

The game got almost zero promotion as well. No Commercials, etc

How often though will the War on I4 feature two teams peaking and playing for the de facto conference championship? I'd like to think more often than not but historically it hasn't been that way.

If it was so highly rated why wasn't it mentioned at all by sports center this morning? I haven't seen a peep about the game on ESPN all weekend.

1. If they play it up as a great game with high viewership it hurts them in the next AAC tv negotiations.

2. They don't want to piss off the P5 CFP puppets by giving any air time or praise to a legitimate 11-0 team they don't want in the discussion.

Usually nobody should. The two of us should easily own the east if not the conference year in and year out, the AAC east should be USF/UCF and the others as also rans every year, yet we had the Holtz New Error and you had 0-12.

Couldnt ask for better numbers.  Not sure how much more these programs would need to prove.  Academics, Population, Recruiting, Built in natural Rivalry.  I had random people coming up speaking to me yesterday saying what a game it was.  We earned new fans too.  This might spark new conversations for the TV Gods and finding us a spot at the big table again.

At the very least the conference is going to earn quite better money ea team come 2020.  7-9 million per team per year would be fair.  Anything less we would be getting ripped off.

Seems like some really solid numbers that would rival FSU and UF.  Come on Big 12 what are you waiting for.

big 12 is such a poorly run conference
