It has nothing to do with performance on the field. Look up Q Rating and you’ll get a better idea.
That is why I asked the question.
No desire to look up q rating
Correct. Fans still have to catch a connector if you’re a regular Joe flying out of Des Moines. Idk if non stop is an option out of Minneapolis or Omaha, but most people i know have a layover in Philly or Atlanta, for example

Pretty amazing that TNT can find two whole teams with pretty much no previous BIG 12 experience.

I think TNT Sports decided to opt for a revival instead of shuttering after they lost their NBA rights which was their mainstay. So this coverage team says to me they’ll be making a play for NFL or other college coverage down the road.
For what it’s worth, they broadcasted the French Open tennis tournament for the first time this year and they did a spectacular job with it. I was very impressed by the production quality they brought to it.

Yup. Lot of money.
With UH getting full conference payout and with a decent season they could move to mid pack pretty easily. BYU to top 5.

One of my dreams is to play Royal County Down golf course in Northern Ireland.
From Stewart Mandel’s mailbag column:
No. 17 Kansas State vs. No. 22 Iowa State in Dublin is the first Week 0 game between ranked opponents since 2000. It’s also potentially significant for the Big 12 title race. Yet it doesn’t feel like there has been much national attention on that game, with previews already looking ahead to Week 1 games like Texas at Ohio State. Is there a reason that game is under-the-radar nationally? — Aaron M.
To be blunt, the reason it’s flying under the radar is because it’s not a Big Ten or SEC game. K-State and Iowa State are good programs, but they are not big national brands. Outside of Colorado, there aren’t any in the Big 12 right now. I know in my head I’ve been thinking ahead to No. 1 Texas vs. No. 3 Ohio State myself. But come kickoff on Aug. 23, I’d imagine most college football fans will come to the realization that, wow, there’s a really good game on today.
In fact, I could have easily seen myself picking this to be the Big 12 championship matchup, but it’s tough to see that happening when one of the two is already going to be 0-1 in league play. The loser basically has no margin for error the rest of the way, especially if the two schools end up in a tiebreaker situation.
And if you’re a CFP aspirant from the Big 12, you’d better win your conference.
So needless to say, this is not Northwestern-Nebraska. Iowa State-K-State is legit high stakes. Tune in.

They need to advertise it. I could barely look up what channel.
That flour or corn tortilla could poke somebody’s eye out.
As in the end times, i assume.
I typed farmageddon, but it auto corrected apparently. Just as well

Lol well it’s probably a decent bet most Big 12 fan bases are fans of both lol.
