[QUOTE="Hell Sent Frog, post: 2731263, member: 73662"] The teams and the conference they belong to control the media rights for each home game. You can't watch the game if the conference or their teams aren't getting paid somehow through the media. It's about eyeballs. Your theory only works if people have to pay to watch the game or go through some trouble to program it, we're nowhere near that. An unaffiliated CFB fan living in the Metroplex, or that same fan living in the east half or even near the Gulf coast and most of central Texas, is much more inclined to watch a TCU game than a Texas Tech game. TCU Football has shown itself to be a national media darling and powerhouse, and Texas Tech not at all, whether you and Red Raider fans want to acknowledge it or not. Texas Tech Football has never really excelled. TCU Football has a much bigger national presence than Tech, in the Eastern and Western USA. Texas Tech Football is a regional team, in a region of one state. [/QUOTE]

Which team did TCU defeat in the College Football Playoffs?
