Interesting Tidbit on Conf. Population

[cygnus34]

As far as a possible network partnership with ESPN, the ACC's research shows that by 2030, a combined 55 percent of the U.S. population will be in the South and Northeast. That happens to where the majority of ACC schools will reside by 2014, when Pittsburgh, Syracuse and Notre Dame are fully integrated.

Conference........Population

ACC..................93.62 million
Big Ten..............69.30
Pac 12...............62.00
SEC..................58.64
Big XII...............36.65

These are 2013 numbers--accounting for conference realignments--and they're already relevant. If TV eyeballs justify inviting Maryland and Rutgers to the Big Ten, then these numbers say that the ACC is where the action is. When demographic shifts bring even more people east and south, the differences simply become more pronounced.

A school from a small state in the Big XII needs to begin preparations.

Nothing. But we might still be stuck in it in 2030, so it'd be interesting to know how many TV sets will be in our coverage area.

Wake up dude. This is a USF board so some may actually be interested in what the new conference's numbers may be.  Your post did not include any of the leftovers so it was a legitimate question.

He should have specified the thread was about the ACC and the Power 5 in the title, and it that regard, it was an off topic question ...
