TCU's strategy of trying to be Fort Worth's team rather than all of DFWs team (for now) is doing a great job of brand building which is often hard for small private schools.

Focusing on Fort Worth has helped TCU, but they're still limited in how many fans they can attract. I worked in Fort Worth for 10 years, and knew many people that wouldn't spend money to watch a university they couldn't afford to attend. I still believe most would agree, much of their attendance is driven by their Big 12 affiliation.

You determine the size of their fan base, the size of the population that watches them in hopes that they lose, and the size of th epopulation that's willing to watch them due to their quality of play (i.e. people that just want a good game).

It probably only matters for the regional games.

Quality of the teams is probably the driving metric, even in a lopsided game. Alabama vs its FCS opponent will draw better than USF - Stony Brook, even for part of the game.

Size of the market the school is located in is probably an opening point in negotiations because you have to start somewhere or you are looking at potential numbers. Rutgers/BC/Temple will all have more potential viewers than WVU because they are located in bigger markets. Whether those are realized viewers is a different question.

Alabama, Miami, etc. all have national draw so market size doesn't matter.

It's not like almost all of these schools haven't been televised for decades.

Temple's value would be the same if they were located in Altoona. A large population of indifferent people who happen to live near a school doesn't add any value.

You are incorrect about Temple as usual. Just an FYI, we are no longer in the 90s/early 00s and the Temple you continually post about bears no resemblance to the Temple of today.

They havent been televised for decades and weren't during their time as a football only member in the Big East (and that is probably a good thing as we all know how they performed then).

They were on TV some of the time in the MAC and have only started to be televised regularly in football and basketball when they moved back to the Big East in 2012 and the current AAC.

1. I don't post about Temple enough to have a usual.
2. I said "most schools."
3. Temple absolutely was televised when they were in the BIG EAST contract. Pretending that Temple's first televised games were in 2012 is ludicrous. See below for proof to the contrary.
4. Nothing in your post actually disputes my comment that:

RE: How do you accurately determine a college team's market??
Truthfully I think the size of a team's market is largely irrelevant. The only time it really matters is if you are big enough to have a conference network and are getting paid by the subscriber for carriage regardless if they tune in or not.

There are plenty of big time schools that play in tiny towns but their appeal is statewide or even region or nationwide. There are plenty of examples of programs that lay in big cities but don't enjoy massive fan support. Not to pick on anyone but San Jose St, Temple, North Texas, Charlotte, and and Georgia St are just a few.

The best way to gauge the value of a team and the size of its fanbase is in attendance, tv ratings, and merchandise sales. A school in a big market can be attractive to a conference because of access to recruits or alums but a big market doesn't mean a better program.

You are correct. But the Syracuse fan thinks linking YouTube videos proves something when it doesn't.

The videos linked don't prove they were shown on any network/channel in the Philadelphia market. In some cases, these games were relegated to stations that showed low budget syndicated shows the other hours of the day. In some cases, they didn't even make it on a channel. Those games were part of the old Big East network but as someone who went to Temple in the late 90s, games with Miami or one of the higher ranked Big East teams would normally be shown. But the local networks rarely showed Temple playing Pitt, Syracuse, etc. They never showed non-conference games unless it was Penn State or a team of that caliber.

My point about 2012 is this is the first time Temple football and basketball can be found on national TV regularly wth ESPN/2/U/News or CBS Sports.

You can give credit to the new conference but the old perception is changing. I know so many folks here in FW who have adopted TCU as their team even with no affiliation. TCU gear is everywhere now and interest is growing.

I agree that there is definitely a ceiling with a small school but I also truly believe that TCU has the potential to be Texas' equivalent of Miami in terms of the private school people root for even with no affiliation. That will depend on continued FB success but Gary Patterson has already proven he can win the B12 and be in the playoff conversation

I assume that we can agree that today's recruits don't only remember the years between 2010 and when Temple rejoined the BIG EAST. Btw, these games are shockingly easy to find. This search literally took less than 45 seconds.

Also, your point about recruits is irrelevant. We're talking about TV dollars.

Good Lord, I found ~30 games that were televised via a 3 minute search (counting search in the post above this one). The games span from 1982 until 2010, and we both agree that Temple was on TV from 2012-present day. That's 35 years of televised games, with about 30 years of regularly televised games. 30 years undeniably counts as decades. And games on various channels at various times of day on various days of the week at various points in the season against various opponents is exactly what you would need to run a regression to determine how much value the school adds. I have no idea why you're trying to knock my links for being too diverse, unless you fundamentally don't understand statistics.

Also, and I can't stress this point enough, these links were the result of 3 minutes of searching on youtube. There are probably many more on youtube, and there are probably many games that were televised but not loaded on youtube because Temple doesn't have a passionate fan base.

Next, Temple basketball has significantly more games on TV than football for a number of reasons. Lumping in hoops just hurts your argument.

Lastly, and I also can't stress this point enough, in addition to being wrong, you're arguing an irrelevant point. My comment was "most schools." Trying to cherry pick one school doesn't prove anything.

There are plenty of big time schools that play in tiny towns but their appeal is statewide or even region or nationwide. There are plenty of examples of programs that lay in big cities but don't enjoy massive fan support. Not to pick on anyone but San Jose St, Temple, North Texas, Charlotte, and and Georgia St are just a few.

The best way to gauge the value of a team and the size of its fanbase is in attendance, tv ratings, and merchandise sales. A school in a big market can be attractive to a conference because of access to recruits or alums but a big market doesn't mean a better program.

NO. It still does not matter. Anybody who understands the concept of price elasticities, efficient markets, and weighted averages can tell you why. Markets do NOT matter for TV. They only matter for recruiting. Otherwise, fans matter.

You are incorrect about Temple as usual. Just an FYI, we are no longer in the 90s/early 00s and the Temple you continually post about bears no resemblance to the Temple of today.

They havent been televised for decades and weren't during their time as a football only member in the Big East (and that is probably a good thing as we all know how they performed then).

They were on TV some of the time in the MAC and have only started to be televised regularly in football and basketball when they moved back to the Big East in 2012 and the current AAC.

1. I don't post about Temple enough to have a usual.
2. I said "most schools."
3. Temple absolutely was televised when they were in the BIG EAST contract. Pretending that Temple's first televised games were in 2012 is ludicrous. See below for proof to the contrary.
4. Nothing in your post actually disputes my comment that:

That took all of 2 minutes on Youtube, and I'd keep going, but I think I made my point.

Well it also isn't 2000. I know you don't like to admit that. Today's recruits were born in 2000

I stopped at 2000 because I figured nobody would be dumb enough to argue that Temple wasn't on TV in the 00's.

I assume that we can agree that today's recruits don't only remember the years between 2010 and when Temple rejoined the BIG EAST. Btw, these games are shockingly easy to find. This search literally took less than 45 seconds.

Whether I am dumb or not, you have a reading comprehension problem. Half the games you linked followed a similar pattern as the late 90s and does not mean it was shown regionally in Philadelphia. The other half were games at Penn State (with one year at the Linc) which I addressed. The last game is highlights against Nova in 2010 that was on ESPN3.

Take Miami, we averaged over 25K butts in the seats in 2003 and were 'the team' of the Miami Valley (far north Cincy suburbs through Dayton) outside of OSU's general pull of course. Fast forward over a decade later and we're basically at our base with only devoted alumni and Oxford townies showing up, though it looks like that's turning around.

Rice couldn't fill their stadium's former capacity. If they start winning more and make some noise nationally, they could draw 45k in Houston.

The other half were games at Penn State (with one year at the Linc) which I addressed. The last game is highlights against Nova in 2010 that was on ESPN3.

You're mistaking an understanding of statistics for having a reading comprehension problem. I said that TV companies have decades of information w/ most schools playing in FBS, and that Temple would be worth just as much money if it was located in Altoona vs. Philly.

You randomly responded by saying that I was wrong, and that Temple FB and BB was only regularly on TV from 2012 on (as if pointing out one specific school has any bearing on whether or not most schools act a certain way).

I spent roughly 3 minutes on Youtube.com and found about 30 televised football games. And, although I didn't include any basketball games, there are multiple basketball games for every football game.

Now you're randomly babbling about game locations, and complaining that my list is too diverse. Neither comment has any relevance as to whether or not TV execs have decades of data on most FBS teams, and neither comment even has any real bearing on whether or not TV execs have decades of data on Temple. The 30 games that I listed, which occurred during various years, on various channels, against various opponents, at various time of the year do.

****And FWIW, I don't know why you're so bent on fighting me on this point. I'm not saying Temple is worthless. I'm just saying that Temple earned it's worth by attracting viewers vs. being born lucky. Wants and desires are irrelevant to what's true in this debate, but I'd still rather say that my school earned what it has vs. was given something that it didn't deserve.****

Our TV ratings are very good. If not the TV networks would have never signed off on us replacing A&M. We even do well in baseball. During last month's CWS we outdrew the Rangers one night and they outdrew us by 1/10 of point the next, and they were playing Boston. We have done a great job of raising the profile of our athletic department, because of this the networks take notice.

This makes sense. I think "market size" is a proxy for the team's ceiling. In other words, how big can the bandwagon get?

If Rutgers and West Virginia both go 7-5, West Virginia will sell more bowl tickets and bring more TV viewers. That's the base.

But if Rutgers and West Virginia both go 12-0, Rutgers will sell more bowl tickets and bring more TV viewers. That's the bandwagoners. Rutgers has more potential for bandwagon fans due to their bigger market.

You can give credit to the new conference but the old perception is changing. I know so many folks here in FW who have adopted TCU as their team even with no affiliation. TCU gear is everywhere now and interest is growing.

I agree that there is definitely a ceiling with a small school but I also truly believe that TCU has the potential to be Texas' equivalent of Miami in terms of the private school people root for even with no affiliation. That will depend on continued FB success but Gary Patterson has already proven he can win the B12 and be in the playoff conversation

Although I no longer work in Fort Worth, I do pass thru there regularly. I never see much TCU gear. I'll see a billboard here and there, but not too many stickers on cars, or people in t-shirts.

I will say, Gary Patterson is a great coach. I don't particularly like him, but I can't deny his coaching ability. TCU has written the book on how to elevate your program out of the G5, and I truly respect that. I hope the North Texas AD has studied TCU's rise and can formulate a similar plan to elevate the Mean Green program. Not saying we have any kind of chance at the Big12, but I'd certainly like North Texas to grow in stature.

Wrong, it only need be kept in perspective. If a team starts winning big, it activates a legion of casual fans, who in time could become die-hards to some extent if they win enough. Look at Miami.

If Temple, wins enough, they could carve a niche in Philadelphia. They'll never fill the Linc, perhaps not even if the Eagles move away but they could draw 50-60k fans if they stay in the polls yearly.

And if Temple won a lot and was located in the middle of a cow field, they'd be Penn State and have a football program that makes $100 million a year.

If's and but's are nice, but they aren't reality. Fans matter, not markets.

Fat chance...Miami's appeal is their location, the perception of that location (beaches and pretty women) and their teams came off as renegade outlaws. Plus, they won big almost every year for two decades and their name doesn't necessarily sound private except to really studious outsiders.

TCU doesn't have any of that and their name could actually draw backlash from anti-religious types, though that's a minor issue. Rice could do well from an underdog standpoint but no private school except Notre Dame, Miami, BYU or USC is gonna build a sizeable fanbase, at least in football.

RE: How do you accurately determine a college team's market??
That's because Penn State is a state flagship. As we saw with Miami, who nearly dropped football before selling out the Orange Bowl regularly shortly thereafter, if you win in a major metro, you can attract fans at the snap of a finger. Temple plays in a big stadium, there's no reason they can't draw big crowds if they win every season.

Base is the number of fans you'd have if the team turned into cellar dwellers, had no star players or coaches, removed promotional and marketing activity, etc. and were basically left with die-hards, parents, the band, and people who show up just to get drunk. Incremental is what happens when you win and do all those things, draw abnormally good home opponents (e.g. P5 teams for the G5), get alumni and students who don't like sports a ton to show up because it's 'the event' to go to, and so on. Yet incremental isn't equal across schools due to size, history, and competition, someone like Rice couldn't fill their stadium even if they won ten games a year for example.

Usually when people say a team has a good market they're saying their base is high and they're taking advantage of their incremental potential. It's interesting since most schools that struggle with support had a 'golden age' at some point where they took advantage of both to some extent by winning a bunch and it resulted in a bit of a local following for a while. Take Miami, we averaged over 25K butts in the seats in 2003 and were 'the team' of the Miami Valley (far north Cincy suburbs through Dayton) outside of OSU's general pull of course. Fast forward over a decade later and we're basically at our base with only devoted alumni and Oxford townies showing up, though it looks like that's turning around.

This makes sense. I think "market size" is a proxy for the team's ceiling. In other words, how big can the bandwagon get?

If Rutgers and West Virginia both go 7-5, West Virginia will sell more bowl tickets and bring more TV viewers. That's the base.

But if Rutgers and West Virginia both go 12-0, Rutgers will sell more bowl tickets and bring more TV viewers. That's the bandwagoners. Rutgers has more potential for bandwagon fans due to their bigger market.

My knee-jerk reaction was "wait a minute, no ...", then I thought about it and it changed to "in this case, he could be right, good point".

But then I thought about a blue blood like Alabama. Rutgers is in a bigger market than Alabama, but no way on earth will a 12-0 Rutgers ever bring more fans, or draw more TV viewers, than a 12-0 Alabama.

That tells us that the sheer population of the city a school is in doesn't define their ceiling. Alabama has over the years established itself as a brand name that draws attention nationally, it transcends the limits of the population of Tuscaloosa, or even of the state of Alabama.

So while I think you are partially correct, there's also more at work here.
