We can quibble about the validity of the football ratings, but i think

Key implication is that SEC is more attracted to UVA and UNC as “brands” that would add something different to the league in addition to footprint expansion, ie very deep athletic departments with multiple national championship level programs, as well as adding two very highly rated public universities. I think that means something to the SEC presidents, particularly Florida, Georgia and South Carolina who are aggressively trying to raise the academic profile of their schools. Obviously nothing wrong with academic reputation of TEch or NCSU, but SEC already heavy with land grant schools, so maybe doesn’t move the needle as much. Who knows. At end of the day, I still dont see the SEC expanding anytime soon.

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...

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.

What evidence do you have to support this epiphany?

Exactly. Choose your desired conclusion, and then pick the criteria

Sure. And inflation is only 8% too.**

Yes, and also 15>9.

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?

Those numbers are believable**

That's a heck of a lot more accurate!

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?

Lets look at who brings in fewer viewers than the Hokies

The Hoos drew more? Not likely.

Zero way hoos have more viewers in rated games. I don’t believe this **
