40 schools from Connecticut to Hawaii for the country to follow throughout the year on NBC-SN.
Recognizable Football names like UCF, Houston, Boise, San Diego St and BYU.
Recognizable Basketball names like Uconn, Cincinnati, Wichita St and UNLV.
Throw a few games on NBC to sweeten the pot. People are tired of espn...could this lineup offer a decent alternative for college football, basketball and baseball viewers?
I’d say it would be a nice compliment to the Olympics and Notre Dame for NBC.

Ive said for a while that there is money to be made in becoming the network of record for G5 football on Saturdays. Do it right.

Start with a saturday "Game Day" type show from a college campus location. Do a daily show recapping news from the G5. Treat the G5 as seriously as ESPN treats the P5.

To me its like what Fox News did. They looked at the TV News landscape and noticed that conservatives were largely ignored. In fact, when conservatives were not ignored on national news, it was because they were being laughed at. Fox realized that conservatives made up around half the audience and chose to cater their news to that ignored group. Fox News is now the top cable news network.

Fox, ABC/ESPN/ESPN2/ESPNU, and CBS are all blanketing the P5 with coverage. Go where they arent. Engage the ignored G5 audience. That audience is probably close to a third of the college football audience and they are completely ignored (or lauged at when not being ignored).

Go wall to wall with G5 coverage on NBC-Sports on Saturdays. Use a G5 game to lead into or follow the Notre Dame game on NBC Broadcast. The G5 is somewhere between 25-35% of the total college football audience...thats a large college educated affluent audience just begging to find a TV home. That group buys detergent and Toyota's too. Truth be told--CBS-Sports is in the best position to execute this strategy. They already have the rights to games in the AAC, MW, MAC, and CUSA. They just need to buy some Sunbelt games and get serious about doing a Saturday road show.

I think this is spot on, Iam all for this, hope it happens soon

This would be like Fox News was when it rolled out in the late 90's. Ignored by CNN (ESPN) Then mocked by CNN (ESPN)Then hated by CNN (ESPN) Thrn kicking the living Shite out of CNN (ESPN) All the while generating ratings and proving that the P5 thing is more hype than reality. For all those who dislike ESPN....lets push this to happen!!!
Right now the cartel posters are ignoring me. Can't wait for the first cartel 5 fan to mock me. Then fight me. Then I win.

They could move NASCAR to Sundays or even better, do Saturday night races!! I love nighttime racing!!! Get rid of some of those ridiculous sitcoms that make me want to barf!! Move Premier League to Sundays also.
