But App is not a flash in the pan. Inviting CCU on their 1 good season would be a flash in the pan invite. We have 2 losing seasons over the last 30 years.

But if you are going to go marketz, stay away from Marshall.

Huntington is the #75 TV Market with 427k homes....and we actually control this market. We are also the #2 team in our state and get a lot of casual eyeballs because of that. WV only has two D1 teams... WVU and Marshall.

Is our market huge compared to Houston? No. Is our market huge when compared to Boone, NC? Yes.

Either way, marketz are over rated. Both Marshall and App draw eyeballs above our market because we have actual brands that casual fans recognize.

I am sorry....but you keep bragging about running the #75 market.

That's like claiming your backyard in the name of Spain. Nice thought but um...


I should hope you dominate the #75 market

I wouldn’t be so cocky. Marshall’s viewership numbers dwarf everyone in the Sunbelt.
They may have the 75th market but it looks like every damn one of them is turning on the game.

I’ve heard their name along with some MWC teams and UAB the most. The people I talk to all give at a minimum of $50k a year on a recurring basis.

I wouldn't say dwarf and if you're #75 DMA and dominating it you've reached your ceiling. And they opened the door counselor.

Ga St has NEVER had a single game with more than 1 million viewers while Marshall has had countless over 2 Million viewers over the last decade alone.

I would say that is dwarfing your numbers.

For the record, Marshall has a national brand which draws casual viewers across the country. Also, WVU used to share a conference with USF and Temple so playing those teams would also be attractive to casual fans across the entire state.
