[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The Big Ten will not add anybody until they integrate and figure out UCLA and USC. The only schools that would fit and increase the massive payouts per school are Texas, Florida or Florida State, Notre Dame. That’s it.  The B1G has locked down the major markets outside those and are rolling teams and games through major markets with huge Big Ten alumni bases. Any other addition will lose money for member schools. [b]Now if the league could jettison Purdue, Michigan State and Northwestern there would be 3 spots open for Washington, Oregon and one of Arizona/Colorado or UNC.[/b][/quote]

Never happen--nor should it happen.

2022 average regular season viewership for each of the 8 schools (plus a few more) listed by the previous poster quoted above:

University of Oregon = 2,221,000 viewers average

Michigan State = 1,910,000 viewers average

Univ. of Washington = 1,150,000 viewers avg.

Northwestern University = 1,130,000 viewership average (and during a horrible 1-11 season)

Purdue = 870,000 avg. viewership

UNC = 849,000 avg. viewership (almost identical to Stanford number & to Syracuse))

U. Arizona = 506,000 avg. viewership

U. Colorado = 353,000 average viewership (also a horrible 1-11 season if I recall correctly)

Big Ten's Rutgers--NYC market--was at 618,000 avg. viewers

Univ. of Miami = 608,000 viewers avg.

Indicates that the University of Oregon is an attractive target school based on viewership numbers.

The above numbers are average viewership per week during the 12 game regular season 2022.[/quote]
