Wednesday night App St v GSU 439K ESPN2
Thursday troy state v USA didnt rate ESPN2
Friday Navy v SMU 959K ESPN
Thursday UCF v Temple 603K ESPN
Wed Marshall v ULaLa 494K ESPN2
Wed SMU v UCF 866K ESPN2
Friday Colorado St v Nevada 433K FS1
Friday Houston v Memphis 699K ESPN2

The last two are interesting, Houston v Memphis has two bigger names and on ESPN but didnt have a very large gain in viewers vs the FS1 product.
If your wanting viewers, Wednesday games appear better than Thursday and Friday are good. Run from the NFL.

35% more viewers is a pretty big gain. 266k more.

Yeah, I'd say that`s a very healthy gain. Helps to know what the competition was, if any.

I do wish CBSSN was rated by Nielson but you never see that.

Doesnt seem too big to me when you consider two Central time zone schools and better quality teams and name brands. One is a soon to big P5 programs and considered one of the top level G5 today.

Doubt we will see many if any contests on ESPN's linear networks. Mostly ESPN+. Maybe we get the Men's Basketball CCG on ESPN2 or something. Football CCG probably remains on CBS Sports Net. I am guessing $750k payout per member. All conjecture on my part.

Dude nailed it. Call him Karnak.

Didn't expect the October conference games to be mid-week (hopefully that gamble works out for us). Otherwise I got pretty lucky on most of that educated guess.

With the vawls on the uptick, mid-week games are best for MT.

Orange has come out of mothballs. It's everywhere.

Plus, some of our best student-attended games have been mid-week. If you don't get them there as students, you have lost them for a lifetime.

For me, personally, with 3 kids playing youth sports, Saturday games could be rough, even though I haven't missed a home game since 1999.
