Audience demographics is absolutely a factor

But I don't believe the demographic difference in the VT/hoo discussion is enough to offset the massive numbers difference in fan support and interest. An example... In the 90s and 2000s Don Imus and Howard Stern were the two biggest players in syndicated morning radio. Stern's audience was 5x what Imus's was, but Imus's ad revenues and syndication fees were larger, because his audience was much wealthier and created a much larger ROI on advertising investment. Turns out that people who find fart jokes the end all be all don't tend to have large amounts of disposable income, go figure.

I think both SEC and B10 want UNC bad - they are the key for realighnment

I don't think golf advertising and football advertising compare, no matter

With your fanbase, the SEC is a no brainer. **

I think we focus too much on the number of “fans” each school has.

SEC didn’t need to get better at football then added Texas and OU

Everything you just said about UVA is multiplied times 5 or more with Duke.
hokieZ71 07/16/24 10:35 AM ET
Because Duke is private.

Don't forget IU and UConn**
Big12 guy 07/16/24 11:01 AM ET
I put UConn in the 7.
hokieZ71 07/16/24 11:12 AM ET
And Dook wouldn't put much additional money into the football program...

Bet that dynamic changes in this environment. **
Big12 guy 07/16/24 11:05 AM ET
Doubtful.**
EDGEMAN 07/16/24 11:06 AM ET
Even UConn is investing in their football program. Duke has
