This is probably why schools like Marshall and Southern Miss would like to be in the SBC.
Over the last decade, Marshall has never had a nationally televised CUSA matchup with over 1 million viewers. As a matter of fact, they've had very few nationally televised CUSA matchups.
The ESPN deal we have is one reason why the SBC and our school brands have grown at a rapid pace over the past decade.
Louisiana and App played in SBC's first ever 1 million viewer conference game last year.
Not counting Conference championship games, the AAC only did that twice in 2019 and in 2020 it was four times, but all those games had B12 invites.
What?!?
2019-2020 AAC Intra-Conference Games over 1 million viewers
2019 CCG MEM-CIN 2.88 million
2019 CIN-MEM 2.510 million
2019 USF-UCF 1.760 million
2019 SMU-MEM 2.950 million
2019 UCF-CIN 1.440 million
2019 HOU-TUL 1.030 million
2020 CCG CIN-TULS 1.88 million
2020 CIN-UCF 1.58 million
2020 HOU-CIN 1.390 million
2020 UCF-MEM 1.900 million
2020 NAVY-TULA 1.350 million
11 games over two years and only three of them are leaver vs leaver. Two of the eleven are stayer vs stayer. The BIGGEST number is stayer vs stayer.
OOC games that we own - home and homes with "P5" conference schools, ND at Navy a respectable chunk of the ESPN deal - obviously have value too.
2019-2020 AAC Conference Inventory (but ooc) games over 1 million viewers
2019 WSU-HOU 2.070 million
2019 MISS-MEM 1.880 million
2019 WISC-USF 1.800 million
2019 UCLA-CIN 1.630 million
2020 BYU-HOU 1.160 million
2020 ARMY-CIN 1.080 million
2020 BYU-NAVY 1.150 million
2020 ArkSt-MEM 1.030 million
Eight high value ooc games in the inventory, and half are stayers, half are leavers.
