Message: [QUOTE="SU94, post: 3915996, member: 202"] Yes, the ratings will be gangbusters in Texas, the Southeast and the Upper Midwest. And those regions (excluding the Upper Midwest) are only growing. That's all very healthy. However, the same ratings will slump in the vital regions I mentioned (CA, NY, NE, Mountain) because they won't have a dog in the fight. Some people from those area will watch (gamblers, sports fans, displaced alums), but CFB would be BEST served if these areas were cultivated and did have investment (aka schools/teams) in the sport. To sum up my point: An American sport that is supported by television ratings cannot thrive to its [B]maximum[/B] capacity by ignoring almost 1/3 of its customer base. That's just not good business.
