Play Hs games Tuesday and Friday. I have no idea if this would make money or flop. Don't the ISHAA and schools etc do this somewhat (streaming)? I think televising some of the largest state championships (Georgia, Florida, Texas) could get some viewers for like ESPN3 etc. Local networks probably would be limited by their syndicated tv lineups etc but I watched some AAU basketball on ESPN the other night and I could see interest in football. I think the B1G and SEC network would be wise to purchase rights to show those games....during the dry summer spells I would love to put on a game with local state teams or Ohio championships etc then rewatching games from the season.

Los Angeles and SoCal in general is much better known as either a pro-sports town, or an apathetic town. Witness all the empty basketball seats in Pauley Pavilion the pre-covid. For sheer numbers, I agree with you, but as far as how many of those people actually would tune into a UCLA-Maryland football game, that's debatable. Yeah you have a good point here,while a game between USC and the Buckeyes would generate some good ratings how much would most of the other matchups. Probably be pretty underwhelming, maybe that is why they PAC 12 has a pretty lackluster tv package compared to the B1G and the SEC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Out of those SEC teams, currently, who would for sure vote yes? I think they will all fall in line except maybe A&M. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Would Florida, S Carolina, and who else....Georgia say no because they have other power D1 schools they might get nervous would come into the SEC? I honestly think that there is sort of a bias to Texas A&M because of their Johnny come lately status to the league....like they are just a junior member and the understanding of the rest is they would never bring in Florida St/Miami/Clemson/GT to interfere with the elder schools. To me Texas A&M will stand alone as the no vote....the rest see BIG $$$. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably be pretty underwhelming, maybe that is why they PAC 12 has a pretty lackluster tv package compared to the B1G and the SEC. Which is why I think that you mostly go to pods or you divide up the divisional play to keep the West coast teams playing together and East playing...only 1-2 games a year traveling outside your pods or having crossover around the conference tournament which would maybe expand to a single championship game to perhaps a final 4. In the end the Pac12 teams still raises good revenue...I think the biggest issue is that their games are harder to televise back East and they negotiated poor tv contracts. I mean Washington football is a huge revenue generating football program.....top 15 over 100 million. Basically on par with Penn St and much more than Nebraska and we brought them in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If USC does join hopefully they extend Heltons contract, that way they stay just above average and no better. 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hoosier51 Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I see that the Texas A&M regents are going to vote yes to the expansion. They must not have been to upset over this after all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zuckerkorn Posted July 29, 2021 Report Share Posted July 29, 2021 I heard an interesting discussion about this yesterday, specifically how the conferences can combat this SEC drive to overwhelming dominance: The SEC moves are primarily about football. If the other conferences vote against expanding the CFB playoff, it would limit the maximum number of SEC teams in the playoff to 2. I don't know the details of how the playoff system works or the status or procedures for expanding beyond 4 teams, but it sounds like this would really throttle the SEC (until they break away and start their own organization I suppose).
