The big 12 needs it's own network

Smells like Big East thinking, when we were in Tha conference.

Wild Ute is direct, he tells it like it is, Although Utah is having a horrific season by their standards he is poinyet.WV IMO, would have better #'s if they won some big games, I just wonder if NB is the man to steer them that direction.

Just more money the fans have to pay to watch games. And the school's don't get any more money from it now maybe later.

If the Big12 can continue to win at a high level in basketball & pick up their game in football. Projecting forward, the Big12 could end up with a huge media deal with all 4 partners involved, but they also need to expand with the right schools too, both in football & basketball. Uconn will deliver for basketball, but you need a football school to bring eyeballs. Also, if you create a basketball juggernaut, having all 4 media partners involved could lead to huge payouts in 2030 & beyond. Expansion will lead to more content for all media partners involved moving forward & what they will be willing to pay for that content. You now have 4 partners more than any other conference. Now, it's important to expand in order to keep all 4 interested moving forward & build towards the next deal. They can't become complacent and do nothing or the Big12 is going to be left behind. Its a good thing we have basketball or we would be on verge of becoming irrelevant. The football season has been disastrous. We need a strong showing in basketball where the Big12 can flex its muscle & bring in Uconn in order to continue to do that moving forward. That would help the Big12 corner all the top basketball players in the country, much like the SEC does in football.

If Brown has an ounce of dignity, he'd resign today.

Hey Couz, got a possible discussion question. Since joining the Big 12, WVU is 70-70. (Includes current season). Is it possible that our expectations as WVU fans might be a little high? We haven’t competed for a conference title since 2011 and that was a shared title.

This can’t hurt.

I think that more exposure and tv money does help with Big 12 money sharing.

It’s no different than the CW-ACC deal. It’s games that would normally go on streaming being moved to TNT. I don’t mind the move, other than there is games also moved to MAX. And, end the end: the Big 12 will not get more money from it.

I think separation between football and basketball contracts will increase the value by possible 2 fold by bringing in more networks into the mix. He can turn it more and more into NBA like atmosphere in a few years since we have the best teams and matchups in the country. I would definitely bring UConn and Zags if he has that separation.

ESPN + SUCKS DIRT!

I had to tape the Baylor game BUT instead of bieng frustrated and to keep me from throwing my shoe at the tv. I checked the score and then just deleted the game. So i didnt watch it and get sick on the stomach and have to watch us get out coached Again!!

The only thing that will help the Big 12 is start WINNING and stop getting beat by 40 in the playoffs!

1 game per week in football. Is it a tier three type deal where they get to pick a game after ESPN and Fox get the first choices?

If the schools don't get more money a yr it only means ONE Big 12 team will keep getting blown out in the playoffs cause we can't afford top players. We need to take money from the football team and give it to the bball team and start winning champs cause we will never be able to compete with the top money teams. The days of the underdog in college football is over!

Couz I love your show, but It's only 1 game a week and no more money.

The exposure is great. Wonder if it brings more money.

Help me understand the bigger picture here. Since ESPN is just re-selling rights it already has, I don't see any revenue difference to the BIG12 under the current arrangement. I do see this as an improvement in exposure. Since there was change, the BIG12 still had to approve. ESPN is clearing room on its sub-channels for other preferred content. This feels a bit like the ACC's Tier 3 content on The CW.

This will help the big 12 without a doubt.

Well, now the key is to fix our NIL, coaching, and portal. Our roster is really shaky for 2025.

Stop saying NB is a nice guy but…… Bobby Knight was a monster but beloved as a coach. Because he won.

How much will the BIG12 receive?

I can no longer tolerate opening up an article about the team. It’s 98% negative. It sickens me.

Isn't the buyout 7.3 million if fired January 1st hell use that 4 million dollars they are gonna make off the Virginia series as part of the buyout

WE NEED A NEW AD NOW . MOST COLLEGES SPORTS PROGRAMS WOULD OF NEVER PUT UP WITH NEIL BROWN AFTER 5 YEARS . SHOULD OF NEVER GAVE HIM AN EXTENSION LAST YEAR. 9-4 IS NOT THAT GREAT OF A YEAR FOR MOST PROGRAMS . THAT WOULD OF BEEN A DOWN YEAR UNDER THE PAT WHITE YEARS ..

Bengals and Wvu are the most disappointing teams in college and nfl . Both had high expectations . Both needs real coaches. New AD/ New owner . JOE BURROW has MVP numbers along with chase . Their kicker missed 2 more late field goals that would of sealed that game. He missed a chip shot in OT against Baltimore. We had the Chiefs beat in AAROW HEAD 4th and 20. Threw it over his head . They threw a late flag . 7 secounds after the play lost 26-25. Had Baltimore down 2 touch downs- with a first and 10. Fumbled the ball collapsed . Then came back. Was going for a 2 point play and the win. They clearly hit burrow in the face + defense grabbed chase no flag another loss. Being a WVU / BENGAL fan is too much . Done watching sports this year until both teams make some serious management changes. Bengals could easily be 8-3 right now. WVU could be 6-4 . Both defenses are down right terrible . If brown dosnt start Nicco thr final 2 games . Word has it he's transferring . Can't blame the kid . No body likes playing for Neil brown . Has one of the highest transfer portal of his players in the country

As a UCF fan I didn't know we were bringing the ratings down. Time to fire Gus and beg Deion to coach in his home state.

TV numbers will nosedive until something changes…

Apologies Couz but I am out on WVU FB until complete change from very top. NB has shown disrespect for fans for many weeks. You get that attitude from your boss. Neither were WVU fans before coming here, and neither will be after they leave. If the octogenarian was any type of a leader he'd retire early, and let a new President whos a WVU fan review and resolve. So again, apologies but I am out, and for also no longer watching your excellent podcast or any of the other guys.. And don't blame NB, blame his boss who put us here.

When Deion Sanders leaves after this season. Colorado will be the bottom feeder of the Big 12.

As one of the fans no I am not watching WVU havent been same old same old, lot's of others I talk to IRL which is a large pool of people feel the same way. Something needs to change ASAP. Jimbo would work IMO

Very interesting video.

Couz you are missing out of an opportunity to make some money. Have some WVU paper bag mask made up and sell them from your on line shop. Fans can wear them to the game!!!! Never let a crissis go to waste!!!! LOL!!!!

Coach Neal Brown is a nice person but he is out of his league. He should go coach high school or D3 college football. All of the staff needs to go. The strength and conditioning needs to also go. WVU players always seems to be out of breath and out of shape compared to the teams they play against.

WVU is a consistent 7-8 win team per season. Every now and then they will win 10 games but it's not consistent, maybe once every 4-5 seasons

It’s a shame. We’ve always been a respectable program. Hell, we’re 13th all time in wins.

Would have been interesting to overlay WVU views with average of the rest of the Big 12. I thought that was where you were heading.

But did you have fun tailgating though?

Albany game didn't help WVU on the TV numbers. I would have put Marshall or some other G4 school regional in that spot.

Can we just bring back Tony Gibson? I wanted him as coach for years.

Fire Neal Brown!

This coach cannot handle the pressure. Temple about to fire their coach. There is no excuse Neal should stick around. If temple can make a late season change, so can WVU. I don't want to make a bowl game bc some might think Neal should stick around if we finish .500

Yep ratings are definitely going down and I don't feel the need to finish a lot of the games I'm a DVR and decide not to watch it all I really don't have any enthusiasm for this team at all I can only compare it to the pro team that I used to follow in Washington and how bad it was for so long except it feels worse at WVU

I just took a Saturday job. I've seen enough. Not buying anything WVU until they start to invest in the fans. Stop with the fcs football hires. Get an sec coach in here, or I'm done. Not Jimbo.

In 2008 WVU vs Louisville on a Thursday night on ESPN did just short of 5 million! That's how far the program has fallen.

Yes. It has been impacting all facets of the tv, ticket sales, and recruiting. It's a trickle down problem that is making WVU a not so great prodcut to sell. I've beem saying this for a couple years. Even a scarier situation, it puts WVU further down on the list for expansion desirability. Brown has done major harm. He should have been fired 2022. His buyout should have been negotiated. WVUs issues aren't just coaching, they include administration.

Sure that are we suck

TV numbers will continue to drop or at best stagnate as long as Neal Brown remains at the helm of the WVU football program. As the graph indicated when WVU plays at an even remotely quality fashion our fans tune-in to watch with numbers and passion. However there's only so much humiliation any fanbase can take and be expected to still tune-in and watch the games. Just one fans two cents worth and love the show brother Couz! 🎥🎬❤

if we win 1 of the final 2 games we go to a bowl and brown comes back
