Going with The CW looks more and more like a great deal. ESPN2 and especially ESPN-U look really weak. We need more games on ABC and on The CW.

I see the BIGN on there but no SECN or ACCN. Could the ratings for those Networks be that low?

I don’t think the SECN and the ACCN disclose the viewership data to Nielsen. My hunch is the ACCN numbers are similar to ESPN2’s.

A network has to pay Nielsen to be rated. ESPN has elected to not pay for ratings for SECN and ACCN. They say they rely upon internally generated numbers which they don't disclose to the public. I don't know that they're embarrassed by the numbers, which are probably better than the ESPN-U numbers that they are paying Nielsen for.
