These were your first two posts on in this thread:

[SIZE=5][COLOR=black][FONT=Georgia]Most of those polls are conducted with only 2-3,000 respondents. That this was a poll of 30,000 is probably a much better sampling and representation than those other polls you mention.[/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]

[SIZE=5][COLOR=black][FONT=Georgia][COLOR=black][FONT=Georgia]Are you saying Oregon should have a lot more or UCONN?[/FONT][/COLOR][/FONT][/COLOR][/SIZE]

Somebody familiar with college football in particular would see the flaws right away in this article, imho. One doesn't need to have knowledge of the industry to know that there is no way UConn has more college football fans than Oregon or that 7 ACC schools and 3 Big East schools have more college football fans than FSU. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt in regard to perhaps these specific items you only had a cursory review of it and didn't realize that was what this article was saying.

But the article's MAIN thrust was that Rutgers has more college football fans in NYC than either ND or PSU and I do remember quite clearly and distinctly you buying into the $160 million in BTN ad revenue last summer that William(?) put forth in his excel speadsheet and later coming down to about $120 million.

Maybe I'm being too much of a hard-a$$ but I would think that someone with "knowledge" of the industry should have recognized immediately neither of those things would be accurate.

Cheers,
