Big Ten Cheerleading Portion:
"Later in the day, ABC averaged a 2.6 and 4.69 million for Wisconsin-Michigan on Saturday Night Football — up 63% in ratings and 73% in viewership from last year (Clemson-NC State: 1.6, 2.71M) and up 8% and 21% respectively from ’18 (Clemson-Boston College: 2.4, 3.89M)."

You know the conference is doing well when they are up 73% in viewership in a pandemic season over a non pandemic season, especially considering we have a pathetic Michigan team this year and the national runner up Clemson from 2019. In fact 21% from the national champions from 2018 is also pretty good.

Nobody doubts that the B1G has a much larger fan base than the ACC. The attendance figures alone bear that out.

Well FOX doesn't respect the Big Ten this season. They screwed us out of games on their network and stuck us with FS1 slots several times. This Saturday, Ohio State at Illinois is on FS1 while the Big Nooner on FOX is Must See TV Texas Tech at Oklahoma State! Two weeks ago, Penn State at Nebraska was on FS1 while the Big Nooner was TCU at West Virginia. Fans spoke with their remote and Penn State-Nebraska outdrew TCU-West Virginia (and this is with Penn State and Nebraska with a combined ONE win between them!) So someone needs to cheerlead for the Big Ten because FOX doesn't respect us and thinks the Big 12 is better than us. Let's show them next Saturday and have Ohio State-Illinois outdraw Texas Tech-Oklahoma State. Prove to FOX who the REAL OSU is!
