[QUOTE="Froggy Style, post: 3164494, member: 89"] Cool story...but hardly the point I was making. Simply...people in the northeast care very little about college football. So it's great that NY media market has 20 million people. However, if none of them watch college football...it doesn't matter. Many of the schools up there don't even have D1 football, so it's just not part of their normal conversation. It's true that Cowboys and Texans get more viewers than college, but 25-30% watch college too. 30% of a million person market is a ton more than 2% of a 20 million person market. Our games do draw several million viewers...especially when we're ranked. Yes, Texas gets more viewers...but that's not the point either. To the original point, if we were in the Big 10, then we would have an enormous set of eyeballs from Texans and the Northeast as we would be one of only three relevant schools in the largest state that cares about football. Chances of it happening, low...when it comes to trying to enter the fourth largest TV market (yes, DFW has passed Philly) you can bet the Big 10 is looking at it. [/QUOTE]
