I've always found it interesting to follow TV ratings, so I'm making this thread for anyone to post when TV ratings are published. I'm going to put them in an excel file so they can be tracked over time. I only wish I had started this when the AAC was founded, but better late than never. Here's some recent ratings:
2/22 UCONN at UC 18-49 .16/Viewers 447,000
2/18 WSU at UC 18-49 311,000 .24/Viewers 758,000/Rating .48
2/15 Temple at WSU 18-49 .06/Viewers 299,000
2/11 SMU at UC 18-49 .09/Viewers 255,000
2/10 UCONN at WSU 18-49 .06/Viewers 282,000
2/3 UC at UCONN 18-49 .07/ Viewers 236,000
2/1 WSU at Temple 18-49 .09/Viewers 409,000
That is all I could find for February. Hopefully some of you can fill in the blanks for the early part of the season, but I will eventually get to it if nobody else does. Or if you really want to go all out, you can find the ratings for previous seasons!

The Houston fans here can take solace in a bowl bid and a likely NCAA bid in 2017-18 - claims that neither of our schools can boast.

ECU has been to plenty of bowls. I think I will be ok with them not going to one for a few years
Maybe next year they can have an early season tourney with all the cheating schools in it that will be playing with walk on's.
Thanks for the help, shocker3! Here are the ratings thus far:

As long as it's a future without ESPN I'm happy. I'd rather be on local tv with all Saturday games. More $ to be made on the butts in the seats then on cable tv--a dying animal.

I still think NBC and the AAC would be perfect together.
The Shockers are ratings gods!

Yeah seems the mwc is really making money with that plan. We'll be on TV. It may or may not be ESPN.

I have no idea what you are talking about with the “MWC plan” ....I do know the MWC and AAC are both making peanuts. I’d rather make peanuts on a Saturday then play football on a Thursday afternoon was my point

In order of viewership:
Wichita, Cincinnati, and/or UCONN are involved in the Top 13 rated games (and 26 of the Top 30).
Y'all (everyone else) need to build up your casual fan-bases.
