So there’s a big gap between school audience and professional football.
College and the NFL have had a poor start to the season, as professionals on Sunday’s opening list have suffered slight declines for a year, and in college, the top games have declined significantly.
It’s the idea that the drop in probabilities is the result of a lot of sports on the tube, especially the NBA and NHL playoffs. Also, for fans, the fact that the popular SEC hasn’t started yet is also a component of the problem. .
But the festival of other sports systems probably wouldn’t have had much to do with football qualifying. Last week, even as the NBA and NHL playoffs continued, the NFL returned. According to Sports Media Watch, the NFL’s ratings peaked in the third week overall and Monday night, with the national window (Cowboys-Seahawks in 72% of markets) averaging 11. 8 million and 22. 79 million audiences on Fox, marking the audience for the third largest NFL week in six years.
But for college, the resumption of SEC games last weekend was a failure. LSU’s turmoil in the state of Mississippi averaged 2. 5 million and 4. 44 million sec first season audiences on CBS on Saturday, marking the highest score and highest rating of previous highs were 2. 4 million and 4. 32 million for the premiere of Notre Dame’s home as opposed to Duke on NBC , but scores dropped by 17% and the audience 10% compared to last year’s SEC on the CBS debut, which took place a week earlier. in the season (Alabama-South Carolina: 3. 0, 4. 95 million). Compared to the same week last season, the audience dropped by 17% more and the audience by 5% (from Auburn-Texas A
Most of the other school evaluations were appalling. For example, ABC averaged 0. 8 (-49%) 1. 45 million (-43%) West Virginia-Oklahoma and 0. 6 (-45%) 998,000 (-35%) for UCF-ECU, the latter belatedly replacing his scheduled game Notre Dame-Wake Forest. ESPN fired 0. 6 (-35%) 1. 08 million (-30%) Army-Cincinnati and 0. 45 (-49%) 795,000 for Troy-BYU.
Trying to rethink that, the ratings divergence may have more to do with the uncertainty surrounding school football, while the NFL, at least for now, has not missed any games and has a transparent path to a normal but expanded series of playoffs. , school football has started in costumes and starts with no major points at this point about the difficulty of deciding on groups for their playoffs. The sensible thing about all that is the feeling that the NFL has the highest stakes in the game. – wonderful help when it comes to attracting attention.

My mentors were James Walker Michaels, Geoffrey N. Smith and William Baldwin. I started at the statistical branch in Forbes in the mid-1980s and then went on to write. Basically, I wrote about height-worthy inventories that I think were doomed to failure. Example: My story at CUC International showed how the company’s competitive accounting masked a currency problem. Subsequently, CUC’s inventory collapsed and the CEO was convicted of fraud.
