Yes, Orlando and Tampa can be delivered on a silver platter to a network if the game is hyped and there is a good product out there.

Big 12...... take notice lol.

Really impressive numbers. Justifies giving AAC teams the good channels in a time slot other than the 11AM which UH always got anytime we were on ABC.

Im thinking this game is the best tv ratings so far in the history of the conference? It was a thriller to watch.

Is that a record for "G5"......ever (outside of the Army Navy game)?? That is even better than last years ACC and Big 12 championship games!! Better than last year's Cotton Bowl too.

That would open eyes on what this rivalry could become on a yearly basis if both teams make it a habit to show up ranked on a consistent basis like the old FSU- Miami games

Yup. That's a huge rating. Next year will be important to keep building this.

It’s not considered an 11am time slot, it’s considered NOON.... haven’t you learned yet, east coast time is the only thing that matters to TV!

Huge numbers...especially for the 18th (1.516 Million Homes) and 11th (1.9 Million Homes) largest tv markets.

Last Black Friday in 2016 on ABC, those ratings were:
Noon: Houston at Memphis 1.9 tv rating (3.093 Million Viewers)
4 pm: Nebraska at Iowa 2.4 tv rating (4.169 Million Viewers)

2015 Black Friday on ABC:
Noon: Navy at Houston 2.1 tv rating (3.055 Million Viewers)
3:30 pm: Iowa at Nebraska 3.9 tv rating (6.189 Million Viewers)

Believe the largest regular season TV audience (prior to Black Friday) under UCF's conference TV Deal (home game or conf road game) was in 2013, when UCF hosted #12 South Carolina at Noon on ABC. That audience was:

Noon: 2.2 tv rating (3.2 Million Viewers)

@American_FB

The @USFFootball vs. @UCF_Football game was the highest-rated and most-viewed intra-conference game in #AmericanFB history

Right now it’s a flash in the pan.

War on I4 doesn’t show this rating to be consistent

It doesn’t raise the entire conference with the 1 time

2017 AAC games:
1 games with 4.7 mil
Vs
30 games with 0.5-1.0 mil

That is true. That may have positioned us to be in the best shape going into negotiations. It was forward thinking on Aresco's part. Maybe it was part of his plan as he used NBC as leverage against ESPN knowing that ESPN would laugh at matching NBC's $$$, but knew the contract he negotiated with them allows us to grow the brand for the future.

Time to put on the nose plugs so the corndog stench doesn't make me nauseous. Folks, we are about to hear about Aresco's salary

This is so silly. NBC was desperate for content. Like Slick Mikey Aresco devised this grand plan to trick ESPN into getting tons of content for pennies on the dollar, give me a break.

......and yes, he's woefully overpaid based on the TV contract and bowls. I don't see why that fact needs to be trivialized.

Aresco has done an amazing job. The tv contract $$$ is going to rest on the teams developing a good product and something people want to see. Half our league just doesn't pull enough eyeballs or competitive enough to get ABC games. Aresco can't wave his wand and get us $10 million. He has started the p6 initiative and has been out there a ton.

Who ever said $10mm, don't be dramatic. To me anyone could have done what he has done. It's not to say he is doing a bad job, but amazing is way over the top. To me, the thing that has really separated the AAC from other G5's is the dream of the "golden ticket". Just look at the rankings, our NCAA bid and NCAA seeds. We have three football teams that deserve better, perception nationally has not changed.

I compare Aresco to the Goodell situation. Both are given credit for simply being a placeholder.

We have gone through this debate many times. Seems everyone has their opinion set. Again, the real test will be the next contract.

I'm sure this current contract has paid for itself many times over already like Navy@UH in 2015 on ABC.

Memphis/Ole Miss, 2015. Memphis/UCLA this year. And I'm sure there are more that are being missed. I agree with you, this conference is vastly underpaid and hopefully things will be better with the next contract.

Edit: Misinterpreted the thread to include OOC games also, my bad. And yes, agree on last years Memphis/Houston game and this years Memphis/Navy game.

You really can't compare network numbers to ESPNNews/U and the like. Even ESPN/2. The big thing is that with minimal hype on the part of ESPN/ABC, an all-AAC game delivered the numbers. Some of the highest ratings for that timeslot in years and above other historical programs.

Give us a platform and we will respond. Yeah of course ratings will be lower if you put a game on ESPN3 or something.

Really, the bigger point is that the AAC (looking only at the TV contract) is paid less than 1/10 what the P5's are paid yet delivers far more than just 10% of their value/ratings. It's a massive massive bargain.

Disney (ESPN) to purchase $60B in 20th Century Fox assets

Would include all Fox Sports Regional networks , but apparently not FS1

Game changer.

This shows the American how important it is for South Florida, UCF, East Carolina, Memphis, Houston, Connecticut, Temple, Navy... to make it on ABC and to show up. The schools are big enough to compete with any schools.
