I want to point out how stupid it would be if they made these decisions off of one season Reminds me of one of my favorite Twitter entries from fairly early on this thread. A Houston knucklehead said that whoever had a higher average attendance between them and Cincinnati the following year would be invited to the Big XII ..... this thread is the best. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

michibull Posted March 21 Group: Member Topic Count: 19 Content Count: 960 Reputation: 652 Days Won: 1 Joined: 08/29/2012 Share Posted March 21 I honestly don’t see the ACC going the way of the PAC12. Schools like BC, Pitt WF, Syracuse, NCST have nowhere to go, even the B12 won’t want them. I truly believe enough of them know this and will make “alliances” to keep a decent group of 6-8 schools together and rebuild with the best of the rest. It will end up being BIG/SEC as the big 2 and then B12/ACC as the next 2 then everyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Time slots are three hours... so there would be at most eight per week per network for OTA broadcast (cable and broadcast): Thursday night (7:00pm and 10:00pm) Friday night (7:00pm and 10:00pm) Saturday (12:00 Noon, 3:00pm, 7:00pm, and 10:00pm) But there aren't THAT many West Coast teams to have three "after dark" games across all of the networks... when you factor the limitations on some networks that have other prime time programming and other sports (such as auto-racing, golf, baseball, college basketball, NBA, NHL, etc) during some of these time slots. Still, for Fox and ESPN ... having 4 to 8 slots per week is probably enough. 48 teams (2 x 24 conferences) would be 24 games in season... but if all 48 play non P2 out of conference, that would be 48 non-conference games to televise. Ambitious definitely, but you aren't accounting for all of their channels, only the two primary (and ABC is ESPN's OTA channel). Don't forget CBS and NBC, plus ESPN2, SECN and BTN. EDIT: Interesting that SEC has indicated kickoff times flexed by 45 minutes to have non-stop football. Edited March 21 by USF_Bullsharks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
