Yeah I found it after I made the post and you left out one game that had a higher rating that didnt involve a P5 or G5
NC A&T-ALC ST 1.6 2.345M
1.1 (1.750M) MARSH-USF 8pm est start
1.0 (1.698M) Troy-Buffalo only 52k behind
Little more context....2017 Marshall played in the 3rd least watched bowl game. I believe 2015 over 2 million watched the Marshall bowl game. Time a game is played can play a large role in numbers
0.75 (1.212M) Marshall 4:50 PM pm est start
Colorado St
(This post was last modified: 06-24-2019 08:31 PM by WKUYG.)
Our average for the last 5 bowl games we played in is a 2.04 rating.
2013- 2.58M vs Maryland in Military Bowl
2014- 2.25M vs Northern Illinois in Boca Raton Bowl
2015- 1.2M vs Colorado St in the New Mexico Bowl
2017- 1.75M vs UCONN in St. Petersburg Bowl
Not to mention we have the nations best bowl winning percentage and the longest bowl winning streak in college football.
Even though our market is #70 in the country it is pretty irrelevant considering Marshall has an actual brand. There's a reason that our games are the first ones selected under the CUSA TV contract.

Do you just make up **** without even checking the facts? The last 4 seasons CBSSN, BEin and FS1 are the tier 1 partners "TV" that got 1st pick
Marshall
2018 3
2017 2 (one of the espn network 1)
2016 4 (one of the espn network 1)
2015 3
In those 4 years there's another CUSA school with 15 plus another 3 games on a espn network.
I did not count games CUSA did not control: bowl games or pay check games. Both (Marshall & the other )had 4 games on FSN in 2015
It wasnt S.Miss I believe they only had 6 "tv" games and 2 on a espn network. It was Tech around 10 and it wasnt Rice who had 6 TV games

He is not wrong. Check the facts. Our tier 1 rights go to CBS Sports / Facebook. Our second tier rights go to Stadium / Facebook. 11 of the 12 Marshall games in 2019 were picked up by both our tier 1 and tier 2 partners.
No other conference member came close. I think I showed that we had 11 tier 1 and tier 2 games picked, the second closest was North Texas with six.
We only have one game aside from that, and ESPN2 game with Boise State which we don't own the rights to.
Because this is a crazy media contract, games on Facebook are actually a tier higher than our NFL Network games. The idea of streaming vs linear, and what holds more value has completely changed in 2019. Also, we have a back crazy witch toy Hummer driving commissioner. So there's that.

Then he should have limited to 2019. BTW Stadium facebook is not the same as Stadium. Stadium is also shown on some local TV. Stadium Facebook is shown on facebook only. So shouldn't Stadium pick before facebook? I haven't checked the answer to that question. But with Western/Louisville and Western/Army being a Stadium game I assume Stadium picks before facebook?

I should have clarified... But their partners, at least broadcast partners. It's crazy to think that the CBS Sports Net Facebook games get first pick over games broadcast on TV, but that's what it is.

In all honesty I would much rather have a game shown on espn 3 or + than Facebook. Trying to watch basketball on Facebook was awful and if I did it was on mute.

Games on Facebook are a complete disaster, wished they left it on Twitter only. Twitter at least is made up of mostly sports fans...Facebook is social hour and was geared for the causal fan and serious fans were forced to look at dogs during games with school sweaters on. Announcers reminded me of wedding DJ's, just dumb silly comments entire game which basically says these games are not good enough for regular TV so lets make it into cocktail hour to make these games more interesting.....At least ESPN+ shows the game and you can watch the game and 1/2 of the game commentators are talking and serious about said game.... Those who are serious fans want to watch the game and have commentators talk about the game. Not discussing oh look at that dog, was hard to watch. When you did watch a lot of times games on FB, half the time picture went in and out...

you're right in a lot of ways. Yeah they do goofy segments, but I love the fact there are no commercials.
Most of the time they're doing those segments an opportunity where commercials would normally be played.

Honestly I'd rather watch commercials than dogs and babies in team gear. Or the girl trying to interview fans in the stands. It's cringe-worthy.
Agree with 518 about games going in and out. It's been one of my biggest gripes with FB. I get around 40 mbps and FB is the only streaming that buffers. Could be an issue from my phone to the Chromecast though, I don't know. I'm going to try an HDMI cord from laptop to TV this fall.

11/12 games selected by Tier 1/2.
Marshall is the flagship of this conference.
If we were truly the flagship, the American would have invited us already. But obviously that didn't happen. So I think you need to slow down a bit.

I guess i was lucky. I cast from my iPhone and had no trouble. For stadium or 3 or + games, I have the beefed up AppleTV.
