Oops - 0h- I mean Louisville to Big 12

This has gotten beyond rediculous

The done deal supposedly ain't done. Not just because Missouri hasn't done anything yet - starting to hate those guys for keeping the entire country up in arms for their little parade before their big fade back to relative irrelevance.



But now a snag and it is supposed to be Louisville going.



It ain't over. Could be Cinci tomorrow - or Mo staying. Embarrassing saga for all concerned and Mo is the reason this has dragged out.

Interesting that no one mentions BYU even in the comments section.



By the way - are you typing with your elbows? :roll:

Did you hear about the great ratings numbers that the BYU-OSU game pulled on KBYU in Utah, and how well that BYUtv/Fox joint broadcast worked out, and how pleased Fox execs were? ESPN consulted. Yeah, so did I. Read it here:

I read stuff like that and I just wonder what in all holy hell could possibly be the hold up here. It was widely publicized that our game against OU back in 2009 was a barn burner for the ratings too. Does religious bigotry (no sunday play) really keep these commissioners from seeing the cash cow that BYU is, or do they think these consistant TV ratings are just a fluke that keeps happening over and over.

FWIW, an aversion to "no sunday play" does NOT = religious bigotry. Big difference there.

Key point regarding the BYU vs OSU broadcast:





For the BYU/OSU game where BYU partnered with the Pac-12 and Fox, it received a very high rating in Utah and was the second-most watched TV program over the weekend behind the Cowboys-Patriots NFL game. I will be curious about how the ratings will be for the Friday night game with TCU. Bottom line, the Y is showing that it has very strong viewership across the country.

So when they say it was the second most watched... is that in the country or Utah???... Everything I've read has been vague.. More people watched this then the World Series? or other NFL/college games... If so that's impressive, especially being on a tier 2 hard to find channel.



Go Cougs.

Yes re the elbows on the iPhone touch screen at 6:00AM Hawaii time with one eye still closed and the other one barely open a crack. Apologies.

True but it can be a defendable excuse given as a reason to avoid giving the real reason which just might be religious bigotry.

Bit of a stretch there IMO. I agree 100% that religious bigotry kept BYU out of the Pac...and MIGHT keep BYU out of the Big 12 (although I think it has more to do with other factors). But being hesitant about no Sunday play has nothing to do with religious bigotry.

Go Cougs.

I would bet that is a Utah-only number. I have hard time believing that more than 9% (the world series Sunday game figure) of the US households watched BYU v. Idaho State.

We were talking about the Oregon state game which was played on Fox nationally and KBYU in utah.

As far as religious bigotry, when you dominate the ratings on ESPN and FOX on a consistant basis, if a conference says "we don't want BYU because they don't play on Sunday" that is such a BS excuse that I can come to no other conclusion that the real reason no one wants the cash cow is due to religious bigotry.

Got a link to that info I find it hard to believe the BYU vs OSU got the 2nd highest viewers of anything all weekend long.

In the SLC market. Not nationally. SLC market only. Still, pretty strong showing.

DeseretNews today. The link is posted elsewhere on the site, and I'm too lazy to look for it.

Fox was only a regional carrier (Fox Pacific) for that game, and KBYU was Utah only, so the likelihood of that one being #2 nationally is even less-likely.

And I would have watched it on Fox if we had it. Watched the replay instead. they should count those ratings too.

I know didn't play on FSN in Chicago. We probably had some Big XII game involving Iowa State or Kansas instead.



EDIT: Nevermind, it was Western Michigan at Northern Illinois.
