ND made the CFP twice after undefeated regular seasons, but lost to Clemson in the ACC CG and still made it, only to get hammered by Bama.

As I recall, last year the regular-season Michigan-Ohio State game did about the same number of viewers as the CFP semifinals, somewhere around 15M-16M viewers.  That's something else.

so UCLA and USC were added for the same reason as Rutgers - TV market, not viewer numbers

although, I'm sure those two will draw more eyeballs went playing the top Big Ten programs

gotta remember this is an average

Yeah BTN will immediately increase revenue due to carriage in the LA area.

Although I anticipate more push-back on BTN forced carriage now, than was experienced ten years ago, as carriers watch the cable subscriber model dying off.

it just keeps dying and dying and dying

many thought it would be gone years ago, but it seems to be able to survive for many more years

heck even streaming services bundle content (forced carry)

the FCC doesn't seem interested in ala carte at this point

There are still a lot of old people that have no clue how to manage anything other than a cable box.  But they're dying off too.  

Cord-cutting and old folks dying is costing the cable companies millions of subscribers per year, and that's only going to increase, not decrease, over time.

And I have a LOT more choice on my bundled streaming than I ever did on bundled cable.  If I didn't, I'd drop that, too.

COVID obviously took a toll on old folks

I need to look into streaming services now that I don't work for the CATV provider and get everything for fee

shit is expensive

maybe sling is for me

I really like the Roku interface.  I like it better than AppleTV or Firestick.

I currently have the Hulu/Disney+/ESPN+ bundle and I use the "streaming package" from Spectrum.  So I'm about a half-cord cutter.

its $60 / mo and I split that with my 2 children who are also Astro fans
