The reality of the situation, VT does not have very good ratings
EmpireHokie • 07/10/22 12:37 PM ET
What is a rated game? Does that mean its big enough for Nielsen to rate it?
soflahokie • 07/12/22 03:24 PM ET
Yeah, that's not the REALITY, that's one writer's flawed interpretation...
Techsupport • 07/11/22 12:18 PM ET
I don't now why people read this crap from Staples
ScottsdaleHokie • 07/11/22 01:58 PM ET
Don't discount all the people that want to watch the heels and hoos lose **
Tuckahokie • 07/11/22 08:58 AM ET
Simplistic measure
VTfan2019 • 07/11/22 03:13 AM ET
They actually had FEWER games rated over 1M. 9 vs 15(VT)
Techsupport • 07/11/22 12:11 PM ET
Staples should have compared VT’s Top 24 games to UVA’s Top 24
Enter Sandman • 07/11/22 12:11 AM ET
eh, fortunately no ACC team is going any where till 2036.
ChrisLords • 07/10/22 11:48 PM ET
I'm not so sure that's true.
VTfan2019 • 07/11/22 03:19 AM ET
We can quibble about the validity of the football ratings, but i think

What evidence do you have to support this epiphany?
marcbvtgm • 07/11/22 10:48 AM ET
When I look at the last two teams the SEC added

UVa football fans are like Twitter followers
Hokie1992 • 07/11/22 09:30 AM ET
Exactly. Choose your desired conclusion, and then pick the criteria
VTfan2019 • 07/11/22 03:22 AM ET
Sure. And inflation is only 8% too.**
marcbvtgm • 07/10/22 05:27 PM ET
39.7 mil > 28.8 and remember vs factors as well**
Concord Dan • 07/10/22 04:43 PM ET
41>24**
Concord Dan • 07/10/22 04:41 PM ET
Yes, and also 15>9.
Techsupport • 07/11/22 12:08 PM ET
Here THIS is a more accurate measure
hokiepro • 07/10/22 04:31 PM ET
Did they assume zero for the games without data? AKA ACCN games?
reestuart • 07/11/22 08:02 PM ET
Those numbers are believable**
VT ChemE 1986 • 07/11/22 01:51 PM ET
WVU - #30. really?**
949hokie • 07/10/22 07:09 PM ET
That's a heck of a lot more accurate!

It was an article on the Athletic, not my "BS" **
EmpireHokie • 07/10/22 05:12 PM ET
Don't care who wrote it because It's total BS.**
EDGEMAN • 07/10/22 05:21 PM ET
whatever you say man
EmpireHokie • 07/10/22 05:41 PM ET
It doesn't pass the sniff test. **

TomTurkey • 07/11/22 12:52 PM ET
Makes much more sense.**
techer1983 • 07/10/22 04:56 PM ET
Those numbers make no sense. VT was THE team that played on Thursday Night
laphroaig • 07/10/22 03:37 PM ET
Of those two teams, which one filled their opponent's stadiums?
EDGEMAN • 07/10/22 05:11 PM ET
Lets look at who brings in fewer viewers than the Hokies
EDGEMAN • 07/10/22 05:28 PM ET

hokiepro • 07/10/22 04:28 PM ET
This is a dumb comparison. We had MORE games rated BECAUSE
hokiepro • 07/10/22 02:58 PM ET
The Hoos drew more? Not likely.
EDGEMAN • 07/10/22 02:42 PM ET
Totally agree - a 10 year old for football fan can confirm***
sacramento hokie • 07/10/22 03:12 PM ET
Did they look at the stadium when they played games?**
scoop76cs • 07/10/22 01:37 PM ET
Zero way hoos have more viewers in rated games. I don’t believe this **

Doesn’t matter if you and I don’t believe it; we aren’t the ones who matter**

The “study” is automatically invalidated comparing a “median” from 41 games
