NIU TO MWC

It is about eyeballs. High market penetration of tiny markets doesn't help much either.

I totally get that many of the MW numbers are bad, and that is kinda my point. We already have a bunch of teams that aren't exactly pulling their weight. Any addition at this point will drop the mean, not raise it. At this point UNLV/Vegas is raising the average well beyond the mean, and that is a bit scary in itself. Especially since until recently, we have not been a huge contributor either.

Small markets + high cost to add + questionable competitiveness= wtf is the point? (at least to me)

I mean Sac State at least has better potential with their market, new stadium and financial commitment.

I think Gloria has done her homework. She likely already met with existing media partners.

I'm guessing she's gotten feedback on who has value who doesn't.

I mean NIU and Toledo came out of left field. NDSU has been approached.

NIU TO MWC

You have a link? I could only find the one ESPN2 game for this season.

But again if they are similar to our bottom 3, then that isn't good. It will drive down payouts.

It needs to be no worse than our mean. We are already taking it on the chin.

Any add at this point is not necessary. Just for NIU's sake, maybe one in the region, and it seems that NDSU would be the best, though I like Toledo better if they are still in the mix.

But the idea of adding the Dakotas AND the Montanas? I just don't see the logic in that.

In comparison, I think UC Davis (37,000 students) has very similar potential to Sacramento State (30,912 students), with both of them getting there funding from the same university system.

NIU TO MWC

NDSU beats half the MWC/PAC

I looked at other comparable games. Reno, UNM even SJSU do similiar numbers. MWC viewership is bad.

Dayton

None of those fouls were fouls, imo, including the charge they were screaming for. Neither and 1 was a foul.

DJ had a tremendous look. He’s going to hit that 8 of 10 times.

Yeah announcers were idiots. I didn’t think it was a foul either.

Sucks that I can’t even find a stream on YouTube.

hard to care about the rebels basketball. Not everyone has peacock sports.

NIU TO MWC

You may want to look at viewership numbers for Reno, NMU....

Take out any 'prime' matchups.

They are shockingly bad.

Yes Vegas is massive. So is San Jose and their numbers aren't great.

Market sizes and market penetratiin both matter.

If market size was all it was about SJSU would be highly sought after.

Line ‘em up: Predictions and Game Thread Hey, we got a game in a few hours.

But their other qb played at another school and had solid numbers, so potentially they could be ok.
Yeah, I saw two articles on which direction Cal might be going with. One was they would let their freshman take the start. The other was a backup QB who has had some experience and has a good arm. They were talking about how they think they can burn our DB's deep with that QB's arm. We will find out. Go Rebels.
