Title: Why doesn't anyone understand why other conferences get better TV deals?
Post by: michigancat on March 12, 2007, 02:21:24 PM
It's population, people.

It shouldn't take a rocket scientist to figure out why the Big East, ACC, and Big 10 have better TV deals than the Big XII.

The Pac 10 is equal, at best.  The SEC is worse (for basketball).

It is absolutely no more complicated than than the advertising dollars.

I have no problems with our basketball television contract.

I certainly get your point and agree with you, but

It's population, people.

 The SEC is worse (for basketball).

this implies that population by itself isn't everything.

It was cool watching those little stomp dancing deals for the Big East.

Pac 10 was definately on par with ours.

I'm guessing you don't live out of state.

SEC fans overall don't care too much about basketball.  They're kinda like Texans.

If anything it implies that the Big XII is overachieving.

I think Kietz or someone broke down population numbers (as far as big media markets go) last week.  The SEC wasn't a whole lot bigger than the Big 12.

They sure do fill a hell of a lot of 90,000 seat staduims every week during football season.

I guess this might be true, but i don't believe it.

I don't think so.  The SEC to me is a clear underachiever.
