The Alliance?

Does not most of the Big Ten play in small college markets?
no...its about the associated TV markets
Maryland = DC
Rutgers = NY
MSU / UM = Detroit
PSU = Pittsburgh
Minny = Minneaoplis
Purdue = Indianapolis
NU / ILL = Chicago
OSU = Cleveland / C Bus
Indiana = Indianapolis

The execeptions are Iowa / Nebraska. B1G network TV distribution has always been the key driver, carriage and retransmission fees bring in the $$$ that plays the schools. The more eyeballs the more $$$

Some math.
Number of homes that carry BTN : 73,000,000
Cost per sub (home) that BTN charges cable systems: .37 (disclosure/ that was a couple of years ago)
Revenue per month $27,000,000

Waco TV Households : 350,000+
Dallas TV Households: 2.7M+

TCU wins over Baylor

Disclaimer: the per sub cost is at the high end. Some systems that put BTN on a pay tier or secondary tier may have a reduced retransmission fee. So assuming it’s :25 per home (about) let’s put the range from $18M per month to $24m per month
