[QUOTE="topdecktiger, post: 129528679, member: 1459051"] Sorry, your still wrong. You can't just claim stadium attendance has any bearing on TV ratings. Let me give you one example. In the last link I posted, the Boston College/Notre Dame game was Notre Dame's #2 rated game in 2012. Well, you can't just automatically assume that people in Massachusetts weren't watching the game. You have no basis for that. Unless you have some ratings that specifically show that Massachusetts got lower-than-average ratings for that game, you can't make that assumption, just based off stadium attendance. You are also wrong about Boston not helping the ACC. When Miami and Virginia Tech joined the ACC in 2004, the ACC's TV contract actually went [I]down[/I]. Now think about that. At the time, Miami was still a national power, and Virginia Tech was a Top 10 program. Yet, the contract actually went down. That's because Miami and Virginia Tech were redundant markets. It wasn't until Boston College, with the Boston market, was added that the contract increased. I'm not trying to pick a fight with you.
