Tulsa Guy Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 BOISE STATE HOME GAMES UNDER ESPN CONTRACT Sept 8, UConn, 233K Oct 6, SDSU, 269K Oct 19, CSU, 420 K Nov 3, BYU, 480K Nov 24, USU, 1.078M AVERAGE = 496K MWC Conference Championship Game: FSU VS BSU, 1.036M AAC Conference Championship Game: Memphis VS UCF, 3.321M The UCF @Tulsa game (1.170M) outdrew the MWC Championship game (1.036M). As an aside, Tulsa, a school of 4.300 students and only 5 football wins in the last two years drew the following: Sept 9, Tulsa @Temple, 728K Oct 4, Tulsa @Houston, 562K Oct 12, USF @Tulsa, 1.170M Average: 820K Oklahoma, the smallest populated state in the AAC geography with 4M people, would be the third largest populated state in MWC behind only California and Colorado. My guess a lot of OU and OSU fans turned on the Tulsa telecasts in this football crazy state. Tulsa was involved in 3 of the top 8 AAC TV telecast viewership in 2018. Both OKC and Tulsa rank very high nationally in the PERCENTAGE of TVs turned on during sporting events. About 60% of the OKC TVs are turned on watching OU games when the Sooners play. For OSU, it is 40%. OKC's metro population is 1.4M and Tulsa just reached 1M. U Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TV contract negotiations for MWC, Boise, and BYU.....plus the bowls have not been completely worked out. Everyone is speculating, which is one of the primary activities and interests on these various sports boards. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Did I hear a WOOSH? Posted July 29, 2019 Share Posted July 29, 2019 I understand but are there MW people here arguing that viewership should be used in determining their contract size/bowl affiliation? Their viewership is in line with the conferences they refuse to acknowledge as equals like Sunbelt and CUSA, and likely lower than MAC...it seems counter intuitive to take that angle.

The fact that we pay everyone else’s bills is absurd. Whose paying whose bills? You can’t even afford travel to Hawaii let alone paying anyone else’s bills.

It would be nice to have a bowl tie in with the ACC so the MWC could mop up the floor with them every year regardless of the amount of tv revenue the MWC receives annually.

Agreed. It would be great for the MWC and a good recruiting tool. Perhaps that is one of the factors why the P12 is struggling eh? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shouldn't you be on the realignment board talking about how lucky you are that the top of the AAC hasn't gave ECU the boot? Still salty about that whole Hawaii Bowl thing I see. I was just wondering how much money ESPN was gonna rain down upon the mighty MWC. I'm guessing what, $2 million each? Boise carving out 4. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What's funny (or sad) is that ESPN is dropping spare change on your heads, and you think it's raining cash. You know who makes more than the AAC with their 5 year old contract? In the beginning the Universe was created. This has made a lot of people very angry and been widely regarded as a bad move. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve always been impressed with your stadium and fan support. How come you guys kept on getting snubbed from moving up until the aac finally called because there really isn’t anybody decent left. I’m seriously interested, not trying to troll you even though your here being an ass. "but we only lost to Stanford by 3." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
