I understand the big ten has the location for some of the bigger tv markets, but do people from New York or Chicago not enjoy watching good football? They’d rather watch Ohio state vs Rutgers than Alabama vs Arkansas? Outside of osu and occasionally Michigan that conference doesn’t offer much for football. Even with adding usc, if you combined the 2 the SEC would probably have 10 of the best 13 or 14 football programs of the last 20 years and 6 of the top 7. Including the new teams you probably have Alabama, osu, uga, lsu, florida, Oklahoma, auburn. If you want to talk about USC’s potential it’s probably matched by UT and A&M.

The thing that sucks is the non-football programs. How is ucla softball going to like flying to Rutgers for a softball series in early april? Does big ten even play baseball and softball

The Northeastern corridor is Pro sports- The LA area is Pro Sports, while they are big markets, I would imagine they are low college sports.

The advertisers will not want the low ratings for the Big 10 games in those Pro dominated areas (Northeast and west coast) although they might want to TV ratings for the SEC in those areas.

I can see the SEC dominating the viewership across the nation most weekends
