The funny thing is the AAC drew the same amount as the Pac12 and big east combined. The media draw and the press bias with all this conference hors...t is laughable. Don't believe that the big east in it's current configuration is anymore attractive for Uconn than where it is now. Likely less, but the program needs to be competitive again regardless.
That is so interesting. I live in the town next to Foxboro, so obviously I live in a pro-NFL bubble. People here are as crazy about football now as ever. I thought it had more to do with the nature of entertainment. Sports were big when there wasn't great TV. Now with Netflix etc. I very rarely watch TV at all. Unless UConn or Pats, I'm out because there are better options.And there are some that suggest the protests are a factor.
Anecdotally, I know a surprising number of people who are no longer watching the NFL because of the protests.
I drive past two bar/restaurants on my commute that have the same “No NFL” signs in front of their establishments.
Big factor, small factor, I don’t know, but it’s a factor.
Since you just called me a liar, allow me to call you a fool. You're "pretty sure" I didn't throw away my Steelers gear?
Please enlighten us: how exactly are you "pretty sure" what I've done? The stuff is in a landfill.
FYI, I sent a letter to Mr. Rooney, which went unanswered. When I didn't receive a reply, the gear got tossed. 5 jerseys, 1 baseball cap, 1 construction hard hat, Christmas lights, about 15 terrible towels, and some miscellaneous stuff like T-shirts, banners, saved game tickets and programs.
Not sure why you directed comment #2 towards me since I never made a statement one way or the other regarding your alleged ratings studies.
So.... just curious, are you implying that because someone has taken a stand that this happened to be their red line, they are less for not going against their beliefs and supporting those who have sinned or made decisions against their perceived better judgement. Hmmm, I’m with him for taking a non-violent stand against those that disrespect. To do otherwise on my part would be hypocracy. Of course that seems to be the political party of choice.I appreciate your commitment to the National Anthem and women's rights. Personally, I think everyone has skeletons in their closets. If I stopped watching every athlete, actor, politician, or religious leader who sinned or made a decision with which I didn't agree, I wouldn't be able to watch anything.
No. I'm saying that the list of people and organizations who do things I find wrong is long. If I stopped interacting with them based on that standard, I wouldn't be able to watch sports, watch many TV shows and movies, participate in the government, go to church, even talk to members of my family. I'm not saying what anyone else does in terms of their entertainment is right or wrong. I'm expressing what I do.So.... just curious, are you implying that because someone has taken a stand that this happened to be their red line, they are less for not going against their beliefs and supporting those who have sinned or made decisions against their perceived better judgement.

Only Navy for now but...
Makes sense. I always thought they would piece out the inventory to maximize the collective bottom line.
CBS gets the Navy home games.
Does anyone know how to read this?
Is @Fishy right on Twitter and this is all Navy revenue?
The Navy writer quoted above contradicts himself in those tweets.
I would caution you - I did almost zero research, I just hate this conference.
Looks like Navy is like Notre Dame...has an its own contract with CBS for home games through 2027.
The AAC deal with CBS is separate from the Navy deal.
Mike Aresco, the AAC and every AAC athletic department that allows this is a complete joke.
They don’t even get television revenue to cover the knee surgeries.
What a complete bunch of fools run this league.
Getting Navy was worth the small price.
