Just heard that Bowl viewership is up 12% for the first 20 bowls. That is some healthy growth right there...

Maybe because attendance is down.  They're all home watching on TV instead of going to the games.

Ya’ll say what you want but this is high praise for the P6. This should be worn like a banner if I’m Harlan. Tout this during the off season - maybe a tv deal?

Can someone please explain to me why in week 13; they have the Pitt-Miami game with a higher rating then the USF-UCF, game even though the USF-UCF game drew a larger audience.

ESPN is ok with that, keep pushing those advertising rates up!

 The rating is more like share of the market. different time slots have different number of total television viewers. More people watching tv as the day progresses particularly accounting for the west coast and 3 hour time difference.

That would be fine but you have it in reverse. The Pitt-Miami game was at the Noon slot and we were at the 3:30pm slot which has a larger viewing audience. :151_person_with_pouting_face:

 

So you're saying they have a larger share of a smaller audience. right?

The Birmingham bowl did very well:

The Texas Tech-USF Birmingham Bowl had a 2.15 and 3.4 million (+47%), its largest audience since 2014.

Sweet! We may not have the butts in seats for home games, but we've pulling some decent ratings.

Adjustment for P5 viewers vs G5 viewers ...

    We've talked about getting back to being the toughest, most violent people out there. Let's be the best version of ourselves and really get back to the culture of how we (USF) used to step across the line and play anybody. Let's hold on to the culture of when they were tough … and they (opponents) knew it was going to be long damn day for themselves.
