I'm not going to argue eyeballs watching TV sets, you can look at the link above, scroll down game by game and average it your self. But if you're going to try to make a point don't reference an article that is 5 years old.

You are not going to argue fan base size since you have no data on it and you merely have a biased opinion. Got it.

We're a state flagship university. That has won conference and national championships in numerous sports. It really shouldn't come as a shock that an actual stat guy using data found our fanbase to dwarf that of ECU's.

Again, in football, you do not. We represent a region in NC with a larger population than the state of Connecticut.

But that doesn't support his point so he isn't going to use it. Someone can always find data to back their point up, his just happens to be 5 years ago. What is the estimated fan base size? How would one even get that?

If you looked back 10 years we would be smoked because we were in CUSA playing on fricken CSTV while UConn was in a league with Louisville, Syracuse, Pittsburgh, WVu etc. While we were playing UTEP, UAB, Tulane, and Marshall. While still averaging more in attendance than UConn. But they do have all those fans sitting at home not caring about the football program give them that big "fan base".

Well, according to that article from 5 years ago, UConn had 618,724 fans IN FOOTBALL and ECU had 348,391 IN FOOTBALL. Did you even bother to click the link?

So, unless a miracle of biblical proportions happened in that time, the data is not in ECU's favor. End of argument.

That is based on freaking Google searches!! We are talking about real figures here (ticket sales, tv viewership, etc). You're relying on Google searches!

Makes sense coaches want the best teams from last year. The 1 Ucf vote kind of shocked me. Maybe wvu voted for both fl schools.

On top of that he also states he adjusts the findings by correlating football revenue to popularity. So the study was done while UConn was in the Big East collecting BCS conference cash at the time and playing on ESPN. While ECU was in CUSA playing UTEP, UAB and playing on CSTV, CBS Sports if we were lucky.

The parameters they use are ridiculous, if you can show me somewhere with more recent data (you can't even freaking open the survey data links in the article any more) I would be happy to admit I am wrong. They used Google searches and 30,000 survey responses in a country with 300,000,000 people in it.

On a side note your big time rivalry with UCF was the lowest viewed game on your schedule last year. More people watched ECU-UConn.

It is relevant. It's the second source that shows ECU isn't the "#1" fanbase" in the AAC which was the claim which sparked whatever this dispute has evolved into.

Edit: I just took another look at that link and it's a weekly social media mention tally during CFB season. This particular one was for week 10 of 2015. Lol

Double edit: that was your point wasn't it. Now I'm sad you win.

4. Cincy = 22M
5. East Carolina = 21M & Temple = 21M

11. Tulsa = 12M

Based on this year's TV schedule with Houston playing OU on ABC in addition to three Thursday ESPN games, Houston should overtake UCF for 2nd.

Bottom line: Navy coming into the TV package negates, for example, the hypothetical loss of say: Cincy and UConn.

Other schools of note above 10M:

Boise = 39M
BYU = 39M
Army = 23M
Northern Ill = 21M
Fresno = 19M
Utah St = 17M
Bowling Green = 16M
Air Force = 14M
San Diego St = 14M
Marshall = 11M
Toledo = 10M

Very carefully done to make Houston look good. Obvious what you did here. Last 3 years...

There are some misleading things because 3 years doesn't count some big games that ECU played OOC over the last decade, doesn't include the huge TV bonanza that Boise had vs Georgia & VT, DOES include Houston vs Florida St, Temple vs Penn St & Notre Dame. Also, your thread doesn't include the bit about the 3 year young source you are citing. You could have said in your thread that you were using a 3 metric for your tv rating thread because the source you are citing is only 3 years old. Many other sources are available that list tv ratings going back decades. I normally wouldn't go on like this but I always fight back when I'm insulted.
