What I'm about to say isn't an exaggeration. You could live there for years and maybe not see any Vanderbilt swag. I've stayed relatively close to the campus the last two times I've been there and still didn't see any. Nobody cares.
Kansas to Big 10?

What relevance does this have to your ****** argument? I brought the attendance up to illustrate nobody cares about Vanderbilt sports. Since there is strong correlation to attendance (which either signifies quality of team and/or strength of fan support) and TV ratings, it underscores market size doesn't matter when nobody in that market cares. Something you have, over an astounding 15 pages of posts, failed to grasp.
Because if a schools like USC and Oregon don't get money from ISU ticket sales why would they give a **** if Iowa State sells out or not? This is about money. If there is no monetary benefit for others in having a team with good attendance why would they be such a desirable school?
Bringing up the viewership in regards to the Rose Bowl (most popular bowl game ever) doesn't do s***. Lol Iowa State had better viewership this year, on average, than Oregon did.
That absolutely SHOULD NOT HAPPEN, if your claims of Oregon being a constant were true.
Good for you, Hok troll. I know I'm doing something right based upon that reply. I have a University of Iowa degree, too, but I don't go trolling on Iowa message boards.
KU could live in an area of 20 million for all I care. When your Conference record over the last decade only has 5 wins and nearly 90 losses, NOBODY is going to watch that. NOBODY.
What is and what likely can be is the difference between the haves and have nots.
You aren't very smart, are you.
Attendance also translates into eyeballs that watch the games. Iowa State not only sells tickets, but they also have a radid fan base that watches the games. Eyeballs equal ratings, and ratings equal dollars. With the football team on the up and up Iowa State is an incredibly more valuable commodity. Is it valuable enough to where other conferences will want us? I haven't made that claim. I am saying your persistent talk about market size and market size only isn't relevant. Why? Because the addition of Rutgers and the actual viewership that it brought made EVERYONE realize market size doesn't automatically equal viewers. Brands, quality teams, and fans do that.
I sure as hell hope you aren't in marketing/advertising for a living. I'd be fearful for your job.
That doesn't cut it. You can't insert unsupported anecdotes or opinions unless you lived on the east coast like @mattyheiden. And, well, Arizona's coastline is rather scant.
Cyclone fans should make sure to add Oregon to their Christmas card list.
It's all related you fricking dunce.
Actually we were 5th and ahead of Texas Tech in 2020.

And when you can set a record in season ticket sales like we just did this offseason, I'd say you're doing just fine.
ISU Oregon was not the top ranked non-playoff bowl game last year either it was Cincinnati vs. Georgia. at 4.9/8.7 million viewers. Cincinnati must have awesome fans!
I was going to say, that was the biggest load of horse **** I have read in regards to all of this. Kansas has as much of a presence in the Denver market as Rutgers. Colorado is barely covered here. It goes Broncos, Broncos, Broncos, Avs, Broncos, Nuggets, Broncos, Rockies, Broncos, Broncos, Broncos, everything else way far down the list.
The guy did manage to get a DUI at 7 am and then proceed to tell others like it’s a badge of honor. He probably zipped his scrotum in his jeans in middle school but I’ll need to go back through all 500 posts to confirm. If he did, it’s in here somewhere!
