BIG10 viewership before USC, UCLA and probably ND (and now Clemson) and after those additions, apples and oranges. LOL IF CFB content has underperformed in certain markets then there would seem to be even greater potential for growth and the associated revenue.
New, compelling rivalries will generate even more interest. The media content suppliers agree based on the broadcast rights contracts.
But the numbers are the numbers. SEC signed a 10 yr deal in '20 that is exclusive to ESPN/ABC in '24 for $3B/10yr. "meaning the SEC will get an annual payment of US$300 million". "media rights deals worth a reported $8 billion over seven years that will make the Big Ten — already America’s richest conference - even richer". Not my words. Industry experts. Google is your friend. LOL
The right numbers are the numbers. That's the point. I lived in Cali and in NY, at various times in my life. I can tell you this. They love their NFL...But could give not 1, but, 2 s*h*i*t*s less about College or High School football. Their go to sport is Basketball or Baseball.
The only people that care about College Football, in those areas, are alumni and maybe a couple of their kids.
FYI...Those contracts are currently being renegotiated...so, standby.
