Because the Big10 has close to 75x the population as the south, and even bigger that all of them can afford TVs…

Most won't tune in.

Regrettably, for those that do bother to tune in, those TVs will be showing Big 10 football.

Dumb take. SEC has more viewership every year.

That is a myth that simply will not die on this board.

The population of the South is 125,000,000
The population of the NE is 56,000,000
The population of the MW is 68,000,000
The population of CA and the 7 people who will be tuning in is 39,000,000.

Mother F_CK does anybody bother to buy a f_cking almanac these days?

Yet the South has most of the biggest markets for college football viewership. How big a city is is irrelevant if those people don’t watch

Birmingham has been the biggest market for like 15 years

That's BS. None of those people own a waterbed up there. Never seen one up there.

Half of my relatives own a waterbed and that includes some that live in mobile homes (double wides only). I'll call bullshite again. They ain't got that much money up there.

Over 100,000,000 Americans live in an SEC state. There are roughly 350, 000,000 Americans.
