Must be trollin'


Both conferences have deadweights.

Tulsa and Tulane struggles with fanbase and rating. MWC do have San Jose State as the weakest of them all, then UNLV, Utah State, Wyoming and New Mexico at the next level. The rest do have decent steady fanbase and ratings. They all at teams get over 1 million viewers for games. Same as the top AAC schools. Utah State's ratings might have gone up this year. UNR always do good in ratings. They have a winning season, and their men's basketball in the top 10 in the polls shows that the MWC is not dead, but returning to glory.

This (your bolded statement) just. isnt. true.
2018 million viewer games (non-bowl because the bowls get what they get and aren't a part of the packages to be negotiated soon) Bold indicates representative of the inventory up for negotiation.
AAC
Army Navy 8.0 million
UCF Mem (regular) 3.331M*
CCG 3.32 M
Cin UCF 3.09M
Ariz HOU 2.918M**
GT-USF 2.918M**
ND-Navy 2.447M
USF-HOU 2.350M*
UCF USF1.741
FAU-UCF 1.295M
Tem-UCF 1.191M
USF-Tulsa 1.170M

Hou-TxTech 1.079M
TCU-SMU 1.076M
Cin-UCLA 1.008M

mwc
Boise-OkState 1.438M
USU-Boise 1.078M
CCG 1.036M


That's all for 2018 - three games, only two conference controlled, with three total teams in the mwc got one million viewers. That compares poorly to fifteen games, twelve of which are part of the package being sold and nine of twelve teams represented for the AAC.

For 2015-2018, conference-controlled games over one million viewers (in fact dropping ND Navy '18 which isn't currently conference inventory though '20, '22, etc will be and I didn't count '16) AAC 35, mwc 5.

35 and 5 are not the same. Not even close. And it is year after year and trending up for the AAC.

(* these games were reverse mirror, so even cutting in half greater than million.
** These two AAC games were reverse mirror of each other, so AAC-controlled game got ALL those viewers)


That is after ESPN not showing the MWC games. When ESPN showed many MWC/WAC football games? The top big name MWC/WAC schools had over a million views. The history shows when ESPN showed more games of the schools from MWC/WAC do have the stats that the top MWC teams do get the ratings.

I think they showed 20 or so MW games on Disney controlled networks. They just didnt do that well for whatever reason.

ALL the other rated mwc games (home, away, Disneys, Foxes, just not CBSSN):
FSU-BSU 819k
Haw-BYU 646k
WSU-BYU 617k
SDSU-Stan 596k
BYU-BSU 470k
Wyo-UNM 464k
CSU-BSU 420k
UNLV-SDSU 414k
Fres-Minn 395k
Fres-UCLA 301k
AF-USU 277k
SDSU-BSU 269k
Wyo-Mizz 243k
BSU-Troy 241k
Haw-Fres 197k
Wyo-Fres 128k

Those are ESPN2 ESPNU FS1 and even a single ESPNNews game.
There were another 11 ESPNU games listed as "n.a." in ratings and viewers.

I'm not going to slam those "n.a." games as there are plenty of AAC games so listed. Sportsmediawatch.com can only work with the info given. Heck, Houston-Memphis on ABC over air is still listed as "n.a." and onviously got some viewers (I have emailed ESPN PR asking for those numbers with no response)

So there were mwc games available...and they got very few viewers.

The best of those -- Fresno-Boise on a Friday night east coast prime time on ESPN2 got 819k.
By comparison, Friday night, USF-Tulsa 1.17M, Friday night FAU at UCF 1.295M, Friday night TCU@SMU 1.076M, Friday night in October Memphis-Tulane 738k, Friday night Ga.State at Memphis 790k

mwc games do.not.get. viewers.
Yeah, airing games when the majority of America is asleep is one thing.
But the CCG gets 1/3 the viewers of the AAC CCG.
The mwc's third best game, a Friday night primetime game
gets its ass kicked by the AAC JUST in Friday night primetime games, regardless of being outside the AAC top twenty overall.
