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

if UVa is playing or not. There is another opponent on the field that is not UVa. And the demographics of their fanbase are likely to be much different. Also, the UVa football viewing segment is much smaller than the cumulative number of fans watching a major golf tournament. Lastly, the demographics of the Virginia Tech alumni and fan base are no joke. Grads make a good living. And Virginia a somewhat wealthy state. If we start winning again, we should be attractive to both the SEC and the Big Ten.

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

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

Audience demographics is absolutely a factor

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.

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
